What else can I help you with?
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.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.
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.
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
Do the earths plates move slow?
yes
What help create volcanoes?
Volcanoes are created by the movement of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface. When two tectonic plates collide or move apart, magma from the mantle rises to the surface, eventually erupting through a volcano. Additionally, hotspots, subduction zones, and rift zones can also contribute to the formation of volcanoes.
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.
How do plate tectonics make a volcano erupt?
When two plates collide one pushes the other one down. Then the magma goes through the gaps between the plates and then the volcano erupts. Volcanoes can also erupt by the plates spreading apart.
What occur when plates move?
When plate tectonics move they can either collide into each other, causing mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, move away from each other, or scrape past each other, this creates a fault. Often times the moving of earths plates results in an earthquake of some sort.
Do constructive volcanoes erupt?
Yes! Constructive volcanoes are when two plates move apart and magma rises through the line of weakness in the earth (the gap where two plates move). Magma rises and splashes onto the surface of the earth. They solidify and create basalt ( a type of rock) as well as new land hence the name Constructive Volcanoes. An example is when the Eurasian plate and North American move away from each other creating the Mid Atlantic Ridge which is a chain of small islands created by the constructive volcanoes such as Iceland and Azores. Hope This Helps :) Merry Christmas
Do Earths Tetonic plates move apart?
Yes they do.
What state move mean describes earths plates?
In human history no state has had to move because of the Earth's plates.
