What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
What kind of boundaries move plates apart?
divergent
Which plate boundaries do not form volcanoes?
dining table plates
When does new crust form at plate boundaries?
When the plates are moving apart.
Why do volcanic belts form along the boundaries of Earth's plates?
penis.
How do divergent boundaries of oceanic crust form islands?
Collisions of plates
Are the highest elevations on earth located at the plate boundaries or in the middle of the plates?
Mountains usually form on plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and force the ground upward. There are very few volcanic mountains, such as the Hawaiian Islands, that form in the middle of the plates.
How do mountains form at plates boundaries?
mountains are made when the crust folds, tilts ,and lifts as a result of this meeting of plates.
What three things happen to plates at the boundaries?
earthquakes,volcanoes,and mountains form
Boundaries between plates?
There are 3 main types of boundaries between plates: Convergent- when two plates are coming together (mostly form mountains) Divergent- when two plates are moving apart (mostly form rift valleys) Transform- when two plates slide past one another (also called strike-slip)
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
The kind of plates that cause mountains to form?
colliding plates
