Volcanoes usually occur along the line where two plates meet.
What else can I help you with?
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
What are location of a volcanoes?
Nearly all of them are located in chains stretching across the earth, often for many thousands of miles. Geologists believe that this distribution is related to a theory of the development of the earths surface called plate tectonics.
Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
The formation of volcanoes and mountain ranges can be explained by the theory of what?
Plate tectonics
Why do volcanoes support the theory of plate tectonics?
Volcanoes are caused by the magma from the Earth's mantle; this magma is released through faults in the Earth's tectonic plates.
The theory of plate tectonics helps explain the locations of what?
The theory of plate tectonics helps explain the location of earthquakes, as they frequently happen along fault lines.
What are the similarities between pacific theory and volcanic theory?
it is connected because pacific theory is all about submarine volcanoes and when you say submarine volcanoes it means that........ volcanoes under the sea that's why volcanoes & pacific theory is related to each other...
What is The theory of how the Earth's lithospheric plates moved to their current location?
Plate tectonics.
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain what?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What new led to the theory of plate tectonics?
Continental drift, sea floor spreading, glacial striation, jigsaw fit of the continents, geological matches on different contintents (such as type of rock or fossil found) ,earthquakes, and volcanoes led to the theory of plate tectonics.
What is the unifying theory of geology?
The unifying theory of geology is the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere (outer shell) through the interactions of large plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. This theory helps explain various geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, and the distribution of continents.
What explains the theory of plate tectonics?
the theory explains how Earth's plates form and move. it also explains how plates interact ,producing volcanoes,mountain range ,earthquakes,and featurs of the ocean floor
