What else can I help you with?
What volcanoes are found in divergent plate boundaries?
major ones
Why are active volcanoes found in Japan and Indonesia?
Because they are on plate boundaries
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
What is a fault of a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
What type of fault is a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What types of tectonic plate boundaries are volcanoes generally found?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
Do volcanoes form on diverging or converging plate boundaries more?
Most are found on converging
What boudaries produces volcanoes?
Convergent boundaries produce volcanoes. Volcanoes form when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge, causing the oceanic plate to subduct. The subduction causes a magma chamber to form which feeds the volcano when it erupts.
Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
