What else can I help you with?
Why are volcanoes made constructive plate boundary?
they are not as violent because the plates are sliding away from each other and it is a much smoother process
Why does magma aften form at the boundary between separating tectonic plates?
It is because volcanoes form by two tectonic plates which when both collide and they form volcanoes which a magma rock forms when it explodes.
What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
What is a subducting convergence boundary?
When plates are different densitys and collide to make volcanoes.
What type of boundary plates produce volcanoes?
convergence plate boundary, where tectonic plates move towards each other and collide, leading to subduction zones which are highly constructive regions of volcanoes. Volcanoes also form at divergent plate boundaries. A good example being the numerous Icelandic volcanoes which have formed over he Mid Atlantic Ridge.
What are formed when two oceanic plates collide?
volcanoes in an island arc
Are formed when two ocean plates collide?
volcanoes in an island arc
Where the most of the worlds earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
HaitiJapan has quite a lot as it is on the boundary of several tectonic plates.
What type of boundaries are associated with Icelandic Volcanoes associated?
The type of boundary associated with Icelandic volcanoes is the constructive plate boundary, where two plates slowly move apart and magma seeps up through the gap.
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
Hotspot volcanoes form over a fixed hotspot in the mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanoes as the tectonic plate moves over it, like the Hawaiian Islands. Volcanoes at plate boundaries are formed by the interaction of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced under another (subduction) or plates move apart (divergence), creating volcanic activity along the boundary, like the Ring of Fire.
What type of boundary is made when plates collide?
A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. At this type of boundary, the denser plate sinks beneath the less dense plate in a process known as subduction. This collision often results in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches.
Why is Philippines an earthquake country?
Because it is located on the boundary of two tectonic plates the Filipino plate and the Pacific plate. Where two plates meet is where earthquakes, volcanoes etc occur. click on 'related links' below to see a picture of tectonic plates.
