destructive plate boundaries cause earthquakes and volcano eruptions.the hot magma from the interior of the earth rises and the ground rumbles and it crashes and so destruction follows
cities and countries which have destructive boundaries:
san fransisco
phillipenes
What else can I help you with?
Describe what occurs at a destructive boundary. Explain what folding is and give an example of a mountain region formed by folding.?
At a destructive boundary, two tectonic plates move towards each other, causing one to be forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges through folding, which is the bending and deformation of rock layers due to compression forces. The Himalayas in Asia are an example of a mountain region formed by folding at a destructive boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What continents have edges that are not at all on a plate boundary?
Antarctica is the only continent that does not have any edges meeting a plate boundary. It lies entirely within the Antarctic Plate.
Is Haiti on an oceanic plate or continental plate?
Haiti is located on the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. The Caribbean Plate is an oceanic plate, while the North American Plate is a continental plate. This tectonic boundary is part of the complex system of plate movements in the region.
What plate boundary is the Philippines located on?
The Philippines is located on the boundary of two tectonic plates: the Philippine Sea Plate to the east and the Eurasian Plate to the west. This boundary is characterized by frequent seismic and volcanic activity, making the Philippines prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The Aleutian Islands occur at a what type of boundary?
The Aleutian Islands occur at a convergent boundary, specifically where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate. This subduction zone has created a volcanic island arc along the boundary.
What plate boundary is mt mayon?
It is a destructive plate boundary ;)
Is Iceland on a Destructive plate boundary?
No, Iceland is on a constructive plate boundary.
What plate boundary causes seismic waves?
Destructive plate boundary.
What is the difference between a convergent plate boundary and a destructive plate boundary?
there the same
Is mount Pinatubo on a constructive or destructive plate boundary?
Mount Pinatubo is on a destructive plate boundary; it is above a subduction zone
Is mount vesuvius on a constructive or destructive plate boundry?
Mount Vesuvius is located on a destructive plate boundary. It is situated on the boundary where the African Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction process is what causes volcanic activity in the area.
What type of plate boundary between nazca plate and the south American plate?
It is a convergent/destructive plate boundary.
Why does a constructive plate boundary produce a shield shape and a destructive plate boundary produce a cone shape?
Its to do with the viscosity of the lava, the thicker (more viscous) the lava the slower and less far it will travel making a shield volcano. This happens on a constructive plate boundary. on a destructive plate boundary the lava is less viscous and runs further making a conical shaped volcano
What is another phrase for when an oceanic plate sinks?
a destructive plate boundary
What is the plate boundary thay caused soufriere hills volcano?
Destructive(collisional) plate margin/boundary
Is mount pelee on a constructive or destructive plate boundary?
Mount Pelee is located on the destructive plate boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. This boundary is characterized by subduction, where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another, resulting in volcanic activity like what is seen at Mount Pelee.
What plate boundary is Pompeii on?
was pompei on a destructive margin
