Where do volcanoes tend to exist?
On the edges of plate boundaries
Why are earthquakes and volcanoes in the outside of the continents and not in the middle?
The edges are where the plate boundaries (usually) meet.
What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
Volcanoes tend to exist along major plate boundaries what two boundaries exist that cause the volcanoes to exist along the cascade range in the pacific northwest?
Pacific plate and north american plate
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
What two continents' edges are not on plate boundaries?
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
What high mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at which type of plate boundary?
High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
What Two continents whose edges are not on plate boundaries?
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
What does movement along plate boundaries cause?
Earthquakes, volcanoes to erupt, mountains, etc...
Where do volcanos most likely occur?
Volcanoes usually occur on a major tectonic plate boundaries. Most occur near the edges of a plate, some occur in the middle of the plate.
What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
