Does Hawaii have plate boundaries?
no stupid head peeps
What tectonic plates surround hawaii and the kohala volcanoe?
Hawaii is located on the Pacific Plate, which is surrounded by the Pacific, Juan de Fuca, Cocos, and Caribbean Plates. The Kohala volcano is situated on the northwest corner of the Big Island of Hawaii and forms part of the Pacific Plate.
Where do most volcanos occur on earth surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
What volcanoes of Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries are known as?
They are known as hot spots.
What are three types of plate bounderys?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What are three types of bounderies?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
Where do most of Earth's volcanoes form?
they are most likely to form were the plates of the earth are most active ... like Hawaii.
How are volcanoes related to plate boundaries?
Almost all volcanoes are located along plate boundaries. The exceptions are volcanoes like Kilauea, in Hawaii. Kilauea is not located near a plate boundary. Instead, it is formed by a mantle plume. Again, this type of volcano is much, much rarer than those that form at plate boundaries.
Why does Hawaii has volcanoes but its not located on a plate boundary?
Hawaii's volcanoes are primarily the result of a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, where magma rises to the surface independently of tectonic plate boundaries. As the Pacific Plate moves over this stationary hotspot, it creates a chain of volcanic islands. The volcanic activity occurs due to the melting of mantle material, which is not directly related to the interactions at plate boundaries. This unique geological setting allows for the formation of volcanoes in the middle of the oceanic plate.
What are the tree types of plate boundaries?
Plate boundaries are places where two tectonic plates meet. There are three major types of plate boundaries. These are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Where do volcanos occur on Earths surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
