What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the shaking of the earth. Both can cause damage.
Why do you think that people have used folktales to explain volcanoes?
In times a while back, people didn't know that volcanoes were caused by the Earth's crust and mantle moving in . So they told stories that they could understand, and passed them on as why and what the volcanoes were. i hope i helped :) <3
How are volcanoes caused?
Volcanoes are places on earth where molten rock (called magma) reaches the surface of the earth and comes out as lava. The heat melting the magma is that coming from the core of the planet. There are certain places on Earth where volcanoes are more prevalent than others, these places relate to the edges of the tectonic plates that cover the surface of the planet, where heat flow from the core is higher.
What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in common?
They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.
Where are the most diverging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes are caused to erupt when the inner core of the earth holds more pressure or heat inside it. Volcanoes are the outside source of releasing the magma that the earth has inside it. when a volcano erupts it means that the earth is releasing a large amount of pressure from within
Is it cold in the centre below earth's surface?
No. It is really hot and boiling in the very centre of our Earth.
Are volcanoes caused by heat energy?
no volcanoes are caused by heat energy they are caused by the moving plate under Earth's surface
Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
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.

What is the name of the layer of earth where volcanoes form?
Volcanoes appear only on the crust, but are caused by processes taking place in the mantle.

What is caused by convection currents?
the movement of the plats on earth and if it has pressure applied, it can lead to earthquakes or volcanoes

Do volcanoes have weather geologic or a human cause?
Volcanoes are caused by the local pressure within the molten sub surface of the earth's crust forces magma (lava) onto the earth's surface. The pressure increase is caused by movement of the earth's crust So the cause is geological. Neither man made nor climatic.
What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in common?
They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
