Where are 90 percent of earth's volcanoes located why do we find volcanoes there?
I can answer the first part 90 percent of earth's volcanoes are found at plate boundaries.
What forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
Cinder-Cone Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes
Do volcanoes only erupt on earth?
No, Astronomers have discovered erupting volcanoes on Venus as well as Earth
Why is magma the described as the lifeblood of earth volcanoes?
Magma is described as the lifeblood of earth's volcanoes, because it is red in colour and without it there would be no volcanoes.
How do volcanoes form at constructive plate margins?
At constructive boundaries, magma from the earth's interior rises to the surface and forms mostly fissure volcanoes, but a few other tyopes as well, and forms new crust which pushes away older crust At destructive boundaries, in a process called subduction, an oceanic plate slides into the earth's mantle, where it melts. The molten roick then rises to the surface and fornms a chain of volcanoes, mostly stratovolcanoes, but a few of other types as well
What the Features of the earth surface?
well life forms, land-forms such as volcanoes and mountains.

Are volcanoes part of earth's science?
yes yes
Are volcanoes a part of physical science?
No, earth science.
What kind of rock is igneous rock that forms on earth's surface?
Basalt is extruded from volcanoes and MOR (mid ocean ridges). It actually forms in the earth's mantle and just solidifies on the earth's surface.
What is the surface features of earth?
well life forms, land-forms such as volcanoes and mountains.
How does volcanologist have any theing to go with science?
Volcanology is the study of volcanoes. Volcanoes are part of the subject known as Earth Science.
What part of Earth has a higher risk of volcanic eruptions?
The Pacific Ring of Fire, where about 68% of Earth's volcanoes are found.
What forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
Cinder-Cone Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes
How many volcanoes are there are earth?
there are approx. 1500 active volcanoes on earth
Why are volcanoes called the peepholes of the earth?
In part because much of the lava that comes up through active volcanoes originates in the Earth's magma (well below the Earth's crust) which otherwise wouldn't be directly accessible with our current level of technology.
Why do you have volcanoes?
Well, if volcanoes didn't exist, neither would the earth. Since volcanoes helped build the earth.
