No. Those volcanoes that form on continents usually form near the coast. Most of the world's volcanic activity actually occurs beneath the surface of the ocean.

What landforms is not formed by deposition?

Volcanoes are landforms that are not typically formed by deposition. Instead, volcanoes are created through the eruption of molten rock, ash, and gases onto the Earth's surface.


What type of rock makes shield volcanoes?

Shield volcanoes are typically formed from basaltic lava flows, which are low in silica content and very fluid. This type of lava allows for the gradual buildup of wide, gently sloping volcanic cones characteristic of shield volcanoes.

What type volcano'are there?

There are three main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and stratovolcanoes (also known as composite volcanoes). Shield volcanoes have broad, sloping sides and are typically formed from low-viscosity lava flows. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided cones formed from the accumulation of pyroclastic material. Stratovolcanoes are tall, conical volcanoes composed of alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks.

What do they call volcano formed by liquid rock?

There are two types of volcanoes formed by liquid rock (lava/magma), one being a shield volcano that are spread out over a large area but are not very tall because of the lava being mafic in nature (very liquid lava) such as the types of volcanoes that formed Hawaii, and the other being a composite volcano which is formed by felsic (thick) lava, making them steep and tall.


Why are volcanoes usually near hills?

volcanoes are usually the mountains,the plate boundaries colliding depend on where the volcanoes are formed so they are not purposely always formed by mountains.


Is a plateau formed inland or by the coast?
