What happen as earth's plates move away from each other?
When earths plates move away from each other ( separate ) Volcanoes form.
What are vocanos made of?
volcanoes are formed when two plates in the earths crust move and magma from deep inside move upwards.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.
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 is a Divergent plate boundary and what happens?
A divergent boundary is where two tectonic plates move away from each-other.
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.
Why are volcanoes in the ring of fire more deadly than others?
In the ring of fire, there are more active plates and they move a lot and makes the volcanoes erupt violently and often. - Tyler <3 Hope this helps.
When 2 tectonic plates move towards one another the boundary between them is called?
Tectonic plates are the plates that move underground and cause volcanoes - I hope this answers your question. Z
How could a collision between two seafloor plates produce volcanoes activity?
the more dense plate could move under the less dense plate cause volcanios to erupt
Do the earths plates move slow?
yes
Why are volcanoes caused?
with ash liquid magma/lava the pressure builds up and it erupts
Why are earthquakes most likely to occur?
when earthquakes occur they're most likely on or near tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are the different segments of the earths crust. Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move towards, away eathother or when one plate weighs more than the other and bottom one melts away and becomes magma (lava underground). Basically a shift in the earth. Because both earthquakes and volcanoes are both linked to tectonic plates, earthquakes can also set off tremors than can make some volcanoes erupt!
