What are the 3 types of valcanoes?
There are four basic types of volcanos. They are cinder cones, shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and lava domes. Composite volcanoes share some characteristics of all the others.
3 types of plat boundaries that occur?
The 3 types of plate boundaries that occur is the spreading boundary, fracture boundary, and the colliding boundary.
Why is it some areas along where two plate boundaries meet there are volcanos and in some areas there are none?
There are three types of boundaries: 1. Convergent 2. Divergent 3. Transform There are two types of plates: 1. Continental 2. Oceanic Volcanoes only form along convergent and divergent plate boundaries. To be exact, they only form along continental-oceanic convergent boundary, as well as oceanic-oceanic and continental-continental boundaries. At convergent boundaries, volcanoes are formed because of melting crust of the subduction plate (the oceanic plate subducting under the continental plate). They then seep out of the ground as subduction volcanoes. At divergent boundaries, volcanoes are formed because magma rise to the surface to fill the gap where the plates move apart. A third type of volcano that can form is a hotspot volcano. There exists a spot in the ground where magma is continuously rising. However, plates move so as the plates move, the volcanoes move with them. Hence, new volcanoes are formed and this creates a chain of volcanoes, such as Hawaii. Hope this helps!

What are the 3 common types of plutons?
Cinder volcanoes, composite volcanoes, frision volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes.
What are the 3 types of valcones?
The three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and stratovolcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad, gently sloping sides, cinder cone volcanoes are steep-sided with a circular or oval shape, and stratovolcanoes are tall, conical volcanoes built up by many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.
What are the 3 major types of volcanoes?
Cinder cone, shield, and composite
What are 3 major types of volcanoes?
Cinder cone, shield, and composite
What are names of six types of volcanoes?
The names of different types of volcanoes are: 1.Cinder, 2. Composite, 3.Shield, 4.Lava, 5.Plugs, and 6.Maars.
What are 3 earth features along the crustal plate boundaries?
Three features along crustal plate boundaries are earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges. Earthquakes occur due to the movement of tectonic plates, volcanoes form at convergent boundaries where plates collide, and mountain ranges are often found at convergent boundaries where plates push against each other.
Why are there 3 differenet types of volcanos?
There are three different types of volcanoes because each type has a different shape and characteristics.
Are there 3 or 4 types of plate boundaries?
There are four main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally; and plate boundary zones, which are complex regions with combinations of these boundary types.
What type of volcano erupts all the time?
active volcanoes erupt but not all the time, there are 3 different types of volcanoes active, inactive and extinct.
