Which activity is most likely to trigger secondary succession?
A natural disturbance includes a lava flow, earthquake, or a forest fire. But human forces can also be disturbances, such as farms.
What part of Europe is most likely to suffer from earthquake or volcanic eruptions?
Alpine systems
Is volcanic activity on Venus caused by plate tectonics?
No. Scientists believe that the crust of Venus is too thick to support plate tectonics. Volcanic activity is likely driven by hot spots.
Which type of plate boundary would be most likely lead to above ground volcanic activity?
convergent!
Has St. Louis experienced any volcanism or seismic activity?
St. Louis has likely felt earthquakes from the New Madrid seismic zone, but there is no volcanic activity for hundreds of miles.
What is the most likely cause of the volcanic and earthquake activity in this region?
collision of tectonic plates
What is the most likely cause of the volcanic and earthquake activity in the pacific northwest?
The volcanic and earthquake activity in the Pacific Northwest is mainly caused by the movement of the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate being subducted beneath the North American plate. This subduction process creates pressure and friction, leading to volcanic eruptions and seismic activity in the region.
Which activity is most likely to trigger secondary succession?
A natural disturbance includes a lava flow, earthquake, or a forest fire. But human forces can also be disturbances, such as farms.
What is most likely not a result of volcanic activity?
Banananaaananananana
What is likely to occur as a result of a major earthquake in the US?
Volcanic eruptions
What part of Europe is most likely to suffer from earthquake or volcanic eruptions?
Alpine systems
Which island in Indonesia is least likely to experience a volcanic eruption?
Borneo
Is volcanic activity on Venus caused by plate tectonics?
No. Scientists believe that the crust of Venus is too thick to support plate tectonics. Volcanic activity is likely driven by hot spots.
What is the difference between a hot spot and a focus?
The focus is a feature of an earthquake; it is the point underground where the earthquake originates, directly beneath the epicenter. A hot spot is an area away from a plate boundary that produces volcanic activity, most likely due to a rising plume of extra hot material in the mantle.
Which area of a tectonic plate is most likely to experience an earthquake?
The edges of the plate
How likely is that Chicago will experience an earthquake?
On February 10, 2010, Chicago experienced a 4.3 magnitude earthquake. So it does happen.
Which European country had the MOST volcanic activity of any nation in the past 2000 years?
Iceland most likely, Italy has also had its fair share of volcanoes, but Iceland has continuous eruptions and other volcanic activity.
