under water mostly but you can find them on the crust!
The volcanoes crust is what we live on! Its the outer most layer of Rock. :D
The very center
earthquakes and volcanoes
Volcanoes form in the lithosphere, specifically in the layer known as the asthenosphere. This layer is located beneath the Earth's crust and consists of partially molten rock that allows for the movement of tectonic plates and the formation of volcanic activity.
Volcanos release chlorine and bromine which react with ozone. This depletes ozone layer.
the upper mantle
Volcanoes cause ozone depletion but very less. They release chlorine which can deplete small amount of ozone.
Volcanoes are primarily caused by activity in the Earth's mantle, which is the layer located beneath the crust. Magma, which is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, can rise through cracks in the crust, leading to volcanic eruptions. The movement of tectonic plates can also play a role in the formation of volcanoes.
Yes. When the lava from volcanoes hardens, it forms a new layer. This new layer pushes the lowest layer down. This pushed layer melts, and then comes back up through a subduction zone (area where lava can get to the crust). This cycle continues.
The molten rock that erupts from volcanoes ultimately comes from Earth's mantle, which is a very hot layer of rock. It is hot enough that some if its rock can melt and rise through the crust.
Volcanic eruptions can temporarily cool the Earth by releasing sulfur dioxide that forms sulfur aerosols in the atmosphere, reflecting sunlight. However, they can also contribute to ozone layer depletion if they release halogens like chlorine and bromine. Overall, the impact of volcanoes on global warming and ozone layer depletion is more localized and short-term compared to human activities like burning fossil fuels.
Yes, volcanoes are formed by the accumulation of lava and volcanic materials over time from repeated eruptions. As the lava cools and solidifies, it builds up to create the structure of the volcano. This continuous process can lead to the formation of a cone-shaped volcano with layers of hardened lava.
