What else can I help you with?
What happens when a plate of oceanic crust collides with a plate of Continetal crust why?
the oceanic crust slides down and burns in the mantle and forms a volcano
Does a volcano form when magma reaches earths surface?
That is correct. When magma travels from the mantle to the crust and reaches the surface, that is a volcano.
What is the mantle of a volcano do?
Exploration of the mantle is generally conducted at the seabed rather than on land because of the relative thinness of the oceanic crust as compared to the significantly thicker continental crust.
Does the magma and lava from a volcano come from the mantle?
Yes it does , The magma finds gaps through the crust ( oceanic or continental) and comes up as a volcano. It is originally in the mantle.
How is the earth's crust formed by a volcano?
Volcanoes bring liquid rock (magma) to the surface, which may have heavier elements from the lower crust and mantle.
Is land connected to earths core?
Yes, the Earth's crust sits on the upper mantle and is not directly connected to the Earth's core. The core is composed of molten iron and nickel, while the crust is a rocky outer layer that is separated from the core by the mantle.
What the crust and mantle don't have in common?
The crust is above the mantle and the mantle is below the crust
What is a hotspot in a volcano?
A place where hot mantle material rises in a semi-permanent plume, and affects the overlying crust.
Does every volcano form in the mantle?
No, the Earth's mantle is to deep and warm for this. Magmas are generated in the upper mantle by a process called partial melting and the melt collects in the crust (in magma chambers at varying depth).
Where do valcanoes come from?
From the colliding plates called Plate Tectonics which two continental crust/ two oceanic crust/ continental - oceanic crust will collide then the one that is denser will go in the mantle that we called Subduction after that happens the one continental crust will go upward until volcano will formed that is called Upthrust Faulting. It is either the crust will form mountain or volcano but it depends upon the pressure in the mantle that makes the landform to have a Magma Chamber
How does the center of the earth cause a natural disaster?
The mantle is made of lava. When lava makes cracks in the crust it makes a volcano. When the volcano erupts it makes a natrual diaster.
Are tectonic plates made of crust and upper mantle?
No they are broken pieces of the earth which are what causes hurricanes, volcano explosions...etc.
