plates move by the convectional currents in the magma below the earths crust, and so they move the plates. the earths crust is split up into plates and when the convectional current moves them, they can collide. when they collide, they make the plate thinner on that area and this allows the molten to come through. each time the volcanoe erupts, the volcanoe gets bigger and bigger as more layers of molton rock are composited on to the volcanoe.
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
Earthquakes, volcanoes, canyons, mid-ocean ridges, mountain ranges and so on and the results of plate tectonics.
Hot Spots.
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
yes
earthquakes and volcanoes
Plate tectonics.
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
It is not along an ocean coastline. There are no volcanoes.
Chains of volcanos along ocean Coastlines
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
plate tectonics, mid ocean ridge
Earthquakes, volcanoes, canyons, mid-ocean ridges, mountain ranges and so on and the results of plate tectonics.
Ocean trenches and volcanoes both occur where continental plates collide, or meet. An Ocean trench is also noted for the presence of a volcanic arc. This is right no joke:)
Hot Spots.
iceland is a belt of volcanoes/hotspots along the mid ocean ridge, it isn't just mostly volcanoes, it is a volcano itself
