Is japan on a hot spot?
No. The volcanic activity in Japan is associated with a subduction zone.
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity what type of boundary is formed?
Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
Volcanic activity how does it happen?
Volcanic activity happens with the gases saved and stored build up and explode. =] ~Anna 6th Grade California Volcanic activity happens with the gases saved and stored build up and explode. =] ~Anna 6th Grade California
Does Ceres have volcanic activity?
No, Ceres does not have volcanic activity.
Which type of plate boundary would be most likely lead to above ground volcanic activity?
convergent!
How do subduction zones lead to the formation of volcanic activity?
Subduction zones lead to the formation of volcanic activity because the water combined with crust and mantle material lowers the rock's melting point temperature, causing the rock to melt and produce magma, which then creates volcanic activity.
Is japan on a hot spot?
No. The volcanic activity in Japan is associated with a subduction zone.
Which type of boundaries cause volcanic activity and can result in the formation of islands?
Convergent boundaries, where tectonic plates collide, can cause volcanic activity due to the subduction of one plate beneath another. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic island arcs, such as Japan or the Aleutian Islands.
What is very common in subduction zones?
trench volcanic activity Island Arc
What is the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
The hot spot volcanic activity is not dependent on the subduction and melting of oceanic crust. The hot spot simply appears to be a non-moving place in the Earth's mantle where heat rises from the interior.
Why are volcanoes not found in Singapore?
Although Singapore is not very far from a subduction zone, it is beyond the zone in which the subduction produces volcanic activity. Additionally, Singapore is geographically quite small, so even if it were in a belt of volcanic activity, there probably would not be a volcano in Singapore.
What are two common natural occurrences in the Andes that cause mountains to rise and the coast to sink?
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
Which of these would be the best indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
No oceanic coastline Absence of volcanic activity
How is volcanic activity related to mountain range locations?
Volcanic activity is often associated with the formation of mountain ranges through processes like subduction or continental rifting. Volcanic eruptions can contribute to the growth and uplift of mountains by depositing layers of volcanic rocks that build up over time. Additionally, the presence of magma chambers and volcanic hotspots can create weak points in the Earth's crust, facilitating the tectonic movements that lead to the formation of mountain ranges.
What are two major geologic features produce near a plate boundary where subduction occurs?
volcanic activity and growing mountain ranges
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity what type of boundary is formed?
Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity this type of boundary forms what?
it causes subduction <-- wrong convergent <-- right
