What makes a volcano more likely to erupt where one plate slide under another plate than where two plates collide?
A volcano is more likely to erupt where one plate slides under another, known as a subduction zone, because this process allows for the melting of the subducted plate and surrounding materials, generating magma. As the magma rises, it can accumulate in magma chambers and lead to volcanic eruptions. In contrast, at collision zones, plates may crumple and create mountains rather than allowing for significant melting and magma generation, resulting in less volcanic activity.
What else can I help you with?
What plate boundary is a volcano most likely to form at?
A volcano is most likely to form at a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates collide, forcing one plate to subduct beneath the other. The subducted plate melts and rises to the surface, forming a volcano.
When a new volcano is discovered what type of plate interaction is most likely cause of the volcano?
Lateral movement of the tectonic plates is the interaction that is the most likely cause of the volcano. The outermost shell of the planet is broken up into tectonic plates.
What and where do disaster volcanoes most occur?
they mostly occur on the edge of the tectonic plates - the earts plates which make up the crust. when to plates collide push or pull against eachother this will eather form a volcano or an earthquake
How do plate tectonics make a volcano erupt?
When two plates collide one pushes the other one down. Then the magma goes through the gaps between the plates and then the volcano erupts. Volcanoes can also erupt by the plates spreading apart.
What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
Volcanoes are primarily created by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates shift or collide, it can result in magma being forced to the surface through openings in the Earth's crust, creating a volcano. The magma then solidifies to form the various structures of a volcano, such as a cone or caldera.
Were is the first volcano?
where 2 plates collide and form one.
Where does oceanic and oceanic plates collide?
When a trench or volcano comes.
What could happen two plates collide?
If two plates were to collide they would either go up over the surface and form a volcano, or they would collide and go downward forming a trench or a large crevice.
What kind of volcano occurs where two tectonic plates collide?
They are called rift volcanoes.
What do 2 oceanic plates create when they collide?
It creates a mountain that might turn into a volcano.
What plate boundary is a volcano most likely to form at?
A volcano is most likely to form at a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates collide, forcing one plate to subduct beneath the other. The subducted plate melts and rises to the surface, forming a volcano.
When a new volcano is discovered what type of plate interaction is most likely cause of the volcano?
Lateral movement of the tectonic plates is the interaction that is the most likely cause of the volcano. The outermost shell of the planet is broken up into tectonic plates.
What creates a volcano?
earthquakes in the earths core rubbing togetherTectonic plates move and collide against each other.
How do you get volcanos?
volcanoes are formed when two techtonic plates collide causing the earth to go up into a volcano shape
Can earthquakes cause volcano erruptions?
Earthquakes can cause volcanos to errupt by the plates moving and crashing into one other which creates an earthquake(when plates collide it causs an earthquake) so the force of the earthquake causes a volcano erruption.
When a continental plates collide with another continental plate what it is caused?
Earthquake
Why are earthquakes less likely to happen at the centers of the earth?
they are less likely to happen at the center of Earth's plates because the plates collide in the front or in the back and unless a plate is the middl3e and another is moving to its center it well most likey not hit its center.
