What is used to locate places on the earths surface?
a map
Why does molten rock escape from under the earths surface in certain places?
Scientists do not know the answer to this question.
What is the complete predicate in volcanoes are places on the earths surface where molten rock gases and ash from deep inside the earth are ejected?
rocks,gases,and ash
Tectonic plates interact at places called plate?
boundries
Why do some places in the world have more natural disasters than others?
Because of the tectonic plates. Some countries are on the edge of tectonic plates.

Why are earths landforms changing?
Due to tectonic plates floating on the surface of the semi-molten mantle, movement of the Earth's crust is still happening. Land is still rising and sinking in places. Mount Everest is reputed to be still rising due to the collision between the Indian and Asian tectonic plates, which caused the formation of the Himalayas. Weathering (erosion) is happening all the time.
What are fixed places on earths surface from which direction and locations can be discribedd?
It would be the reference point. Hope this helps :)
Can magnets be man made?
Yes, magnets are essentially metal ores that can be found many places in Earths surface.
Why don't earthquakes and volcanoes happen in some places?
Volcanoes and earthquakes happen when there are tectonic plates below them. The tectonic plates gradually move and might slip after a while. That is when you get an earthquake. A volcano happens when the tectonic plates rub and they get pushed up or down. Malten rock then finds its way through gaps and creates a volcano.
Where do vocanoes form and why?
Volcanoes usually form between tectonic plates in the earth's crust. Hot molten rock beneath the surface gets pushed up as these plates move, and sometimes large rock formations will form. Volcanoes can form in places that arent on the edge of tectonic plates, however, but the Ring of Fire is where most of the earths volcanoes are concentrated, around the Pacific, North American, and South American plates.
Why Are Volcannoes Found Where They Are?
majority of valcanoes follow the edges of the tectonic plates, which are the weaker parts of earths crust, therefore volcanoes form durin the crust giving away to the pressure built up. other volcaoes form other places due to weak parts of earths crust
What is the complete predicate in volcanoes are places on the earths surface where molten rock gases and ash from deep inside the earth are ejected?
rocks,gases,and ash
What limits the use of geothermal energy?
there are a few places where magma come close to earths surface. Very expensive deep wells must be drilled to tap this energy.

How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
