What else can I help you with?
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
Hotspot volcanoes form over a fixed hotspot in the mantle, resulting in a chain of volcanoes as the tectonic plate moves over it, like the Hawaiian Islands. Volcanoes at plate boundaries are formed by the interaction of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced under another (subduction) or plates move apart (divergence), creating volcanic activity along the boundary, like the Ring of Fire.
What do volcanoes demonstraight about plate boundaries?
Active volcanoes demonstraight the location of active plate boundries. Dormant volcanoes, such as the Japanese island chain, demonstraight how plate boundries have shifted over time.
What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
Which type of plate margin forms volcanoes?
A physcadelic plate.
Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
What high mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at which type of plate boundary?
High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
Why does Japan have volcanoes?
Japan has volcanoes because it lies on the edge of the Pacific tectonic plate which is being shoved under the Asian plate. As the Pacific plate descends. the increasing heat causes the rock to melt and volcanoes to erupt.
The movement of tectonis plates is not smooth. why?
FRICTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
Why do so many of earths volcanoes form along plate boundaries?
Lava easily spews out of plate faults making volcanoes.
