What else can I help you with?
When did Mount Aconcaqua last erupt?
It is not a volcano. Like many mountains of the Andes, it was built by plate collision.
Is Mount Everest a mountain or a volcano?
Mount Everest is a mountain and not a volcano.
Is Mount Everest on a hot spot?
No. For thing, Mount Everest is not a volcano. It is a mountain formed by uplift from a continental collision.
Is it possible for a dormant volcano to be active again?
Yes. All it takes is a tectonic plate collision and KABOOM! lava everywhere.
The collision of two tectonic plates produces a volcano what types of plates could be involved?
two seafloor plates and a seafloor plate and continental plate
What caused the Caribbean islands to have varying land forms?
The Caribbean islands were formed from the collision of the Caribbean plate and the South American plate. It caused volcano eruptions and earthquakes.
Was Mt.Mckinley a volcano?
Mt. McKinley, also known as Denali, is not a volcano. It is a tall mountain located in Alaska, USA, and is the highest peak in North America. Denali is the result of tectonic uplift and not volcanic activity.
What kind of volcanic activity happens at collision zones?
At collision zones, subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another can lead to explosive volcanic activity due to the melting of the descending plate and the formation of magma. This can result in the eruption of stratovolcanoes and volcanic arcs, as seen in the Andes Mountains and the Ring of Fire. Additionally, the intense pressure and heat generated by the collision can also create volcanic island arcs in oceanic regions.
What causes earthquakes and volcaneos?
Earthquakes are caused by Earth's Tectonic movements.. Volcano is caused by the movement of molten lava inside Earth..
When was the last time Mount Everest exploded?
Mount Everest never erupts. It is not a volcano.
The collision of two tectonic plates causes a volcano What type of plates could be involved?
The collision of tectonic plates that causes a volcano typically involves converging plates, specifically an oceanic plate subducting beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate. In this scenario, the descending plate melts as it sinks into the mantle, leading to magma formation that can rise to the surface and result in volcanic activity. Examples of such tectonic boundaries include the Pacific Plate colliding with the North American Plate, leading to the formation of the Cascade Range volcanoes.
What is adjective for collision?
The adjective form for the noun collision is collisional.
