Volcanism is the build up of magma onto the surface of the earth or a solid-surface. The eruption is caused by pyroclastics and volcanic gases breaking through the surface called a vent.

What causes earth inner heat?
Heat from the interior is the cause of plate tectonics and its associated results such as volcanism, trenches, and mountains building.
What type of volcanism occurs underwater along the mid-oceanic ridge?
Rift volcanism.
What is a hot spot in relation to volcanoes?
This is a point in the Earth's crust where hot upwellijng mantle material causes significant magma formation and melting to occur within the crust and upper mantle. This in turn causes hotspot volcanism at the surface.
What future event might mark the end of Cenozoic era?
Any variety of causes including volcanism, impact events, cosmic radiation, even nuclear war.
Is volcanism found at convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates?
Volcanism can be found at both convergent and divergent plate boundaries.
How volcanism causes earthquake?
volcanism can not cause earthquakes
What are some of the causes of craters?
Meteor impact, volcanism, bombs.
What are 3 causes for rapid changes to the Earth's surface?
Volcanism, Tectonism and Orogeny.
Does the mantle contain volcanism?
No. Volcanism occurs at the surface on the crust. However, the magma that drives volcanism ultimately comes from the mantle.

hot spot volcanism

What is the process of molten material?
Volcanism
Is it true or false volcanism occurs on planets whose interiors have completely cooled?
Volcanism can only occur on planets with a liquid mantle.
