How do shield volcanoes compare to volcanoes on venus?
the volcanoes on venus are yellow
What is the difference between Compare volcanoes that form on land with volcanoes that form in the ocean.?
Land Volcanoes eat lamas and underwater volcanoes eat camals
What is the direction of the plate and how does this compare to the trend in direction of the island chain?
The pacific plate moves towards the northwest. the plate moves the older volcanoes with it and so the hot spot produces new volcanoes.
Compare shield volcanoes to composite volcanoes?
A shield volcano is made from lava flows that flow far, making a very wide, not very steep mountain. A cinder cone volcano is the most common type of volcano. It is formed from volcanic fragments and is very steep sided, although not always extremely tall. They usually have just one main vent, and can also sometimes form from a vent of a larger volcano, growing and becoming a whole new volcano. Composite volcanoes resemble very large cinder cone volcanoes at first, but have bigger particles making them up usually and also have multiple vents more often. They also are potentially more explosive.
How do you compare volcanoes with other volcanoes?
Rephrased - How do the movements of plate tectonics form different volcanoes?Plate tectonics form several faults. You can have a subduction fault, where one plate slides under another. These faults more often than not produce stratovolcanoes that erupt explosively and with little to no warning. Stratovolcanoes are formed as a result of crustal melting from crust that was previously the ocean floor, and has melted again in a recycling process. This process heats magma under the fault zone and causes volcanoes to pop up. The west coast of the United states and the Cascade Range is one of these zones.You can also have spreading plates, like the North American and European plates, which ware moving apart from each other. Iceland is a good example of this spreading which can be observed at Thingvallir. Crustal spreading allows magma to quickly rise to the surface creating eruptions such as fissure vents, lava fields, and cinder cones.
How do volcanoes on Hawaii compare to ones on land?
From their bottoms on the ocean floor to their peaks, the Hawaiian volcanoes are the tallest in the world - even taller than Mount Everest. That is the main difference.
Can you predict when volcano?
scientists are almost able to predict volcano eruptions because of all the signs we get that we can compare to what has happened before other volcanoes erupted...

How does Kilimanjaro compare to other volcanoes in the region?
It is the largest in Africa.
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Compare and contrast composite and shield volcanos?

How does Hawaiian Air compare to other airlines?
Hawaiian Airlines was the number one on-time carrier in the United States from November 2003 until November 2006. It is the flag carrier and largest airline of Hawaii
How would you compare an explosive eruption of opening a can of soda that has been shaken?
An explosive eruption is similar to opening a can of soda that has been shaken because, when a can of soda is shaken, the CO2 dissolved in the soda is released and pressure builds up. when the can is opened, the soda shoots out, just as lava shoots out of a volcano during an explosive eruption.
