What clues helped geologists learn about earth's interior?
Volcanic eruptions, siesmic wave patterns, plate tectonics activities.
What is an area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary?
mantle plume
What tectonic plates are causing volcanic action around Iceland?
Iceland sits on the boundary between the North American plate and the Eurasian plate.
Why do earthquakes occur more often in some places that in others?
They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
What is the theory that explains volcano eruptions and earthquakes?
Volcanic eruptions don't cause earthquakes but they generally happen at the same time. For example at a destructive plate boundary when an oceanic plate is sub ducted beneath a continental plate , the friction causes an earthquake. As the plate heats up and the mantle's convection current pushes the magma up towards the crust, the magma explodes through the crust as a volcano .
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
Three type of plate boundaries where volcanic eruptions can occur?
Convergent, divergent, and, although not a plate boundary, they also occur from hotspots.
What plate boundary are volcanic islands?
Volcanic islands typically form near subduction zone, but they can also form at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.
Why is Japan more likely than Australia to have volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Answer Japan is located along a convergent plate boundary where oceanic crust is subducted under the continental crust. Plate collisions such as this will result in volcanism and earthquakes when the enormous pressures associated with such collisions is released through sudden plate movement. Australia is not located along a plate boundary.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
Where do volcanic eruptions occur?
Along some plate boundaries.
What type of tectonic plate boundary is a strato-volcano on?
Most calderas are associated with subduction zones, a kind of convergent plate boundary. However, a few calderas, such as the ones at Yellowstone, are associated with hot spots rather than plate boundaries.
The cascade range volcanoes are associated with which type of plate boundary?
convergent oceanic oceanic
Which type of plate boundary is regional metamorphism associated?
The type of plate boundary that regional metamorphism is associated with convergent plate boundaries. A convergent boundary is also known as a destructive plate boundary due to subduction.
What plate boundary is associated with volcano Yellowstone caldera?
The Yellowstone caldera is associated with a hot spot, not a plate boundary.
How many volcanic eruptions happen a year on the Eurasia plate?
22
Is Krakatoa associated with a specific plate boundary?
Yes. It is on the boundary between the Indian Plate, and the Eurasian Plate.
