Why does a constructive plate boundary produce a shield shape and a destructive plate boundary produce a cone shape?
Its to do with the viscosity of the lava, the thicker (more viscous) the lava the slower and less far it will travel making a shield volcano. This happens on a constructive plate boundary. on a destructive plate boundary the lava is less viscous and runs further making a conical shaped volcano
How volcanoes can be destructive?
Well, volcano are destructive because they erupt lava and they are very destructive :D
Is lava a constructive or destructive?
It is constructive: the lava builds into a new structure.
Is a lava dome constructive or destructive?
It is constructive: the lava builds into a new structure.
What is the consistency of lava in the composite volcanoes?
Composite volcanoes are found on destructive plate margins , where the oceanic crust sinks beneath the continental crust. Composite volcanoes have the following characteristics: Acidic lava, which is very viscous (sticky). Steep sides as the lava doesn't flow very far before it solidifies
Is the El chichon volcano located along colliding plate boundaries?
El Chinchon is not a shield volcano it is a lava dome volcano. Lava dome volcanoes have a layering of lava that fans up and outward in the center.
What do only the most violent volcanic eruptions feature?
The most violent volcanic eruptions are found in destructive/convergent plate boundaries. 80% of the world's active volcanoes are found occur along destructive boundaries. Acid-lava and composite volcanoes also cause the most violent eruptions as the lava is viscous and the opening of the volcano is sometimes blocked by hardened lava, causing a huge massive explosion during the eruption.
Are lava flows harmful?
Yes. Lava flows can be extremely destructive. Since most lava flows move slowly, though, relatively few people have been killed by them.
What are some landforms that are constructive and destructive?
Destructive:SlumpsCreepsMudslidesConstructive:Mid-Ocean ridgeIslands made of Molten Lava
Is lime sinks a destructive or constructive?
Lime sinks are considered to be destructive forces. A destructive force is a form of erosion, weathering, and also impacts organisms.
Where is a thick and sticky lava found?
Continental plate.
What is the destructive force in the earth's mantle?
The destructive force in the earths mantle is melted metals. The melted metal or molten lava is able to burn anything it touches.
