What else can I help you with?
Does Montana have volcanoes?
There are no active volcanoes in Montana. You have to go further west to the Cascade Range to find volcanoes. The volcanoes in the Cascades are caused by the subduction of the oceanic crust under the continental crust.
What happens to most magama when it reaches its crust?
volcanoes
Do volcanoes occur in thick or thin earth's crust?
Volcanoes can occur in both thick and thin Earth's crust. Thicker continental crust tends to have more explosive volcanoes, while thinner oceanic crust often results in more effusive volcanic activity. Ultimately, the presence of a volcano is more closely tied to the movement of tectonic plates and the underlying mantle processes than the thickness of the crust alone.
How were volcanoes created in California?
from the earths crust pushing together
Where in the earth's crust do most volcanoes erupted?
the ring of fire
What layer has volcanoes?
under water mostly but you can find them on the crust!
What percentage of volcanoes appear on continental crust?
Approximately 80% of volcanoes are located on continental crust, with the remaining 20% found on oceanic crust. This distribution is due to the presence of subduction zones and hotspots primarily located on continental plates.
Are there volcanoes on Europa?
no. mainly ice and an ocean underneath the crust
Volcanoes only occur in oceanic crust?
Volcanoes do not only occur in oceanic crust; they can also be found in continental crust. While many volcanic eruptions happen at mid-ocean ridges or subduction zones associated with oceanic plates, continental volcanoes can form due to rifting, hotspots, or tectonic activity in continental regions. For example, the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. features volcanoes formed on continental crust. Thus, both oceanic and continental crust can host volcanic activity.
What forms when continental crust converge with oceanic crust?
Deep sea trenches, Mountain ranges, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes.
When does volcanoes occur more often?
Volcanoes occur at divergent and convergent plate boundaries due to the fact that crust is either being destroyed or created. Volcanoes also occur at hotspots, for example in Hawaii. Hotspots occur where the crust is particularly thin or weak, and plumes of magma rising from the asthenosphere (between upper mantle and the crust) end up giving rise to volcanoes or volcanic islands.
What volcanoes occur where two plates move apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
Rift volcanoes
