What is a summit crater?
A summit crater is a circular depression in the ground caused by volcanic activity.
Is volcanic activity on Venus caused by plate tectonics?
No. Scientists believe that the crust of Venus is too thick to support plate tectonics. Volcanic activity is likely driven by hot spots.
Are holes in the planets made by asteroids?
If you mean craters then yes. Most craters are caused by impacts from asteroids or comets. Some craters, however, are volcanic.
Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
Is a tsunami a type of weather?
No, tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or asteroid impacts, which then displace a massive amount of water, in the form of multiple tsunami waves. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and asteroids have nothing to do with the weather.

What do scientists think has caused the volcanic activity on the moon?

What caused the island to form?
The Galápagos Islands were formed by volcanic activity.
What is the process of a seamount?
They are usually volcanic in nature but sumtimes they are caused by tectonic activity.
What is a summit crater?
A summit crater is a circular depression in the ground caused by volcanic activity.
Do all tsunamis start with earthquakes?
No. Tsunamis may be caused by landslides, volcanic eruptions and, on rare occasions, asteroid impacts.
Is volcanic activity on Venus caused by plate tectonics?
No. Scientists believe that the crust of Venus is too thick to support plate tectonics. Volcanic activity is likely driven by hot spots.
Is air pollution only caused by human activity?
No, air pollution can also be caused by natural events such as volcanic eruptions or forest fires.
What do scientist think caused the permain extinction?
Most recent (read this year) studies suggest that massive volcanic activity, caused this major event.
