HOTSPOTS are a place on the earth's crust in the middle of a tectonic plate where volcanoes get formed rapidly.

Why volcanoes are commonly found of the edges of earths moving plate?
This is where the weaknesses in the earths crust lie and it is the easiest place for lava to spew out of these weaker areas, therefore forming volcanoes
In which layer does erosion take place?
In the Crust because it's the only place where there is wind
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?
Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
What place in the world do volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes mostly occur in areas where tectonic plates meet. Most of the active volcanoes in the world occur in what is called the Ring of Fire around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.
Does Jupiter have extinct volcanoes?
No, it never has volcanoes in the first place.
How do volcanoes takes place?
Volcanoes are essentially holes in the earths surface through which magma and lava can erupt. when pressure builds up below the earths crust, magma is then forced violently out of the volcanoes.

How and why does the earths crust vary from place to place?
The earths crust its 5-70km deep in the ocean and upto 100km deep at mountain ranges. At certain areas, the crust is unstable due to moving plate tectonics.

What is the name of the layer of earth where volcanoes form?
Volcanoes appear only on the crust, but are caused by processes taking place in the mantle.
Why does the erosion take place in the crust?
Erosion happens in the earths crust and it happens because of that layer is exposed to that weather
Why is the earths crust is so important for human life to exist?
We live on the earth's crust that floats on molten magma. Which means we couldn't exist if there was no crust!
What is the place where the oceanic crust is forced under the continental crust?
This is called a subduction zone.
What is one type of plate boundary where volcanoes might form?
There are divergent boundries which causes Shield Volcanoes(an ocean volcano) and there a subducting boundries which causes a composite volcano(land volcano) there is also a cinder cone but that is made from a magma chamber(a place where magma is stored beneath the volcano and in the earths crust) explodes from being overfilled and layers upon layers form.
Is the focus of an earthquake the location inside the earths crust where the seismic event originally takes place?
yes couldnt say it better myself
