What else can I help you with?
Do volcanoes occur randomly over Earth's surface?
Volcanoes do not occur randomly over Earth's surface. They occur along the located mark of plate boundaries.
Volcanoes form on what plate?
Volcanoes form on tectonic plates at plate boundaries where magma from the Earth's mantle can rise to the surface. This typically occurs at divergent or convergent plate boundaries where there is movement and interaction between the plates, leading to volcanic activity.
The location on earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake is the epicenter a close correlation exists between epicenters and plate boundaries is it true or false?
Yes, it is true that the location of the earth's surface is directly above the focus of an earthquake is the epicenter a close correlation exists between epicenters and the plate boundaries.
At which plate boundaries are the Earth's tallest mountain ranges formed?
The Earth's tallest mountain ranges are formed at convergent plate boundaries.
What is the layer of the earth where volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes occur in the Earth's crust, specifically at tectonic plate boundaries where magma rises to the surface through cracks and weak points in the crust. This process can happen at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
How are earthquakes distributed on the map are they scattered evenly over earth's surface are they connected in definite zone?
They are most common at plate boundaries.
Which theory views the earth's surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
How does plate tectonics affect earth's surface?
i think the earth gets effected from the moving plates wich effects the earth because when the two plates move it causes tiny vibrations They affect earth by colliding on one another that causes an earthquake or tsunami
What is an example of convergent boundaries?
An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)
What change earth surface?
The Earth's surface is constantly changing due to natural processes such as erosion, weathering, tectonic plate movement, and volcanic activity. Human activities like deforestation, mining, and urbanization also contribute to changes in the Earth's surface. Monitoring and understanding these changes are important for managing resources and mitigating the impacts of natural disasters.
Why does the earth shake when an earthquake is happening?
Earthquakes are caused by the slip of two plate boundaries. Then the earth begins to shake, that shaking moving through the earth finally getting to the surface. That is why the earth skakes when an earth quake happens.
