No "Does..." means "is it capable of happenning" "How..." means "what are the processes"

What is the name of the chain of volcanoes that form at an oceanic to oceanic plate boundary?
When there is oceanic-oceanic convergence, one layer of oceanic lithosphere is subducted. This not only introduces water, which lowers the melting temperature of the asthenosphere, but can create an island with a volcano. This occurs when the hot magma rises from the subduction zone and build up in size. This would not have any specific name. If the volcano was situated on a hot spot, however, it would form linear island chains.
What plates cause San Cristobal volcano to form?
The columbus plates are what caused this volcano to form.
What tectonic plates are causing Sana Cristobal volcano to form?
death
Which type of volcano forms a large cone-shaped mountain from alternating layers of lava flow and volcanic ash?
A volcano that forms very large lava flows and builds itself up that way is known as a shield volcano. This type of volcano may not always erupt from a central summit vent but can have satellite vents (Rift Zones) that will form long channels of lava flows going down the slopes. These volcanoes are often times known as erupting in a very placid style and although can have explosive eruptions are very very rare. A volcano of this type would be either KIlauea or Mauna Loa on the big island of hawaii.
How do you make a paper mache mountain if your school is in Manhattan and you are unable to get chicken wire?
Just use cardboard as the base. Cut slightly triangular sections of cardboard out of a cardboard box and tape together to form a cone shape. If it is irregular so much the better as it will look more natural. Use strips of papier mache to cover the form completely. If you are making a volcano, leave the top and bottom open to do the volcano thing.
What land form would a volcano create?
It could create and island like in Hawaii.
How does an island form?
a volcano erupts
What do you call a sea version of a volcano?
A sea version of a volcano is called an underwater or submarine volcano. These volcanoes erupt beneath the surface of the ocean, releasing magma and gases into the water. They can create new islands or extend the size of existing ones.
What landform would form if an underwater volcano erupts?
An island
How many islands can one underwater volcano form?
One volcano can form one island normally. If it collapses into a caldera it could form a group of three or four.
What type of rock does a volcano form?
volcanoes create igneous rocks
What is the volcano that began to form nearly one million years ago and that filled in half of Hawaii?
* the volcano called island.
Do volcanoes create their own wheather?
Yes. The heat from the volcano can form weather.
How did the santorini volcano form?
Santorini volcano was formed by the conversion of the African plate and the Aegean Sea Plate. As subduction occurred, some magma burned to the surface and create volcanic islands called island arcs. Santorini is one of those volcanic islands.
How does volcanism form?
Volcanism forms when two oceanic plates collide, causing the more dense one to subduct under the other. When it goes under, it partially melts and the magma forces upwards to create an active volcano. An active volcano will stay active until cut off from the magma. Also, the more the volcano erupts, the more crust will form, so if a volcano was once under water, an island will eventually form if not cut off from magma.
Does a mountain form when a volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean?
No. It is called a volcanic island.
Does a mountin form when a volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean?
No, because when a volcano reaches the surface of the water it forms a volcnic island not a mountain
