they are not as violent because the plates are sliding away from each other and it is a much smoother process

What plate boundary made the Haleakala?
None. Haleakala, like all the other volcanoes of Hawaii, formed over a hot spot.
What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?
recessive plate boundary
What boundary is the mauna loa on?
If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.
Is subduction constructive or destructive?
It is neither, because plate is not being made or destroyed. Divergent is constructive. Convergent is destructive. Subduction is constructive.
Where does plates go when they subduct?
the heavier plate gets subsided as it is weighed down, causing the lighter plate to fold up, as the heavier plate goes down it gets heated to exsteme temperature and creates magma which causes volcanos.

Is the convergent boundary where volcanoes are made?
yes

What made volcanoes?
Volcano's are made by tectonic plate movements.
What is a boundary between plates that are moving away from each oher?
A boundary where the plates are moving apart is called a divergent boundary. It is also called a constructive boundary because new crust is made there.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes show up where they do?
When two tectonics plate move together and volcanoes are made by alot of magma
Was it a conservative boundary that made the Kobe earthquake?
No, it was a destructive plate boundry. :)

How are volcanoes related to earth?
Volcanoes are found at Convergent and Divergent plate boundaries, where Plate Tectonics is most active. Magma is produced along plate boundaries, like the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate, forming volcanoes.
What is it called when 2 plates pull apart?
Hi when to plates pul apart under the ocean its called tectonic plate drift or contenetial drift.This allows countries to moves centimetres evvey year in any direction the plate travels.sometimes the plates rub and can cause earthquakes ,volcanos or tsunamis.
