Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
Why does the ring of fire have the most active volcanoes?
There are more active volcanoes in the ring of fire because the ring of fire has the most moving plates. When plates move they cause volcanic eruptions. Places farther away or not in the ring of fire will not erupt as often or will only erupt once before extinction.
Where do volcanoes most commonly happen?
cracks in the plates which make up the crust. the earths crust is not connected. its made up of plates that moves and they are formed by plates pushing together then collapsing. they erupt when it gets a lot of friction from the plates pushing together
Why do volcanoes erupt on tectonic plates?
Volcanoes are not randomly distributed over the Earth's surface. Most are concentrated on the edges of continents, along island chains, or beneath the sea forming long mountain ranges. More than half of the world's active volcanoes above sea level encircle the Pacific Ocean to form the circum-Pacific "Ring of Fire." In the past 25 years, scientists have developed a theory -- called plate tectonics -- that explains the locations of volcanoes and their relationship to other large-scale geologic features...
How do volcanoes takes place?
Volcanoes are essentially holes in the earths surface through which magma and lava can erupt. when pressure builds up below the earths crust, magma is then forced violently out of the volcanoes.
Volcanoes can erupt due to the blank of plates that produces heat for the rock to melt?
Subduction.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
Do volcanoes erupt in warm countries only?
No. Where volcanoes appear is not affected by climate. There are volcanoes in places such as Iceland, Alaska, and Antarctica.
Why do volcanoes erupt by boundaries the most?
Volcanoes often erupt at boundaries because this is where tectonic plates interact, causing intense heat and pressure to build up beneath the Earth's surface. This leads to the melting of rock and the formation of magma, which can eventually erupt as lava and volcanic ash through the volcano's vent.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?
Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
What are facts about strato volcanoes?
Did you know that composite volcanoes make up 60% of the Earths volcanoes. Composite volcanoes don't always have to erupt from the top. They can have many magma chambers and can erupt from the sides. They can be made of basalt, rhyolite and/or andesite. They erupt both ash and lava. The lava is very thick. When the time comes for the volcano to erupt they start to become very quiet. (Sneaky eh?)
Do volcanoes erupt for the same reasons?
Yes, all volcanoes erupt because the magma underneath or in the volcano is under pressure, which forces the magma to the surface, where there is less pressure. However, volcanoes form in different places.
