What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
What are three plate motions that can cause earthquakes?
Any and all plate motion causes earthquakes.
What causes a crater on a volcano?
plate tectonics and plate boundries
Why are Japan's coast at risk for tsunami?
Japan's coastal areas area at risk of tsunamis because Japan is lies on several plate margins. The movement of the plate margins cause earthquakes. it is the earthquakes in the sea bed and under water which cause tsunamis. This is because the movement displaces the water and causes a large wave of water.
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 causes earthquakes and volcaneos?
Earthquakes are caused by Earth's Tectonic movements.. Volcano is caused by the movement of molten lava inside Earth..
What causes both earthquakes and volcanic eruption?
Plate Movement
What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
How does tectonic plate movement affect the environment?
It causes earthquakes when the plates hit each other.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
What is the transformed plate movement?
the transform plate movement is when the plates are sliding. this causes earthquakes. imagine one plate then across is another. one moves up and one down sliding.
Is there correlation between tectonic plates and earthquakes?
Absolutely! The friction and catching from tectonic plate movement causes quakes.
What are three plate motions that can cause earthquakes?
Any and all plate motion causes earthquakes.
What information do earthquakes provide about the earth and plate tectonics?
well, when the valcano erupt it makes new land . the mmoving of the tectonics causes the eruption of the volcano.
What is transform plate movements?
the transform plate movement is when the plates are sliding. this causes earthquakes. imagine one plate then across is another. one moves up and one down sliding.
Why do earthquakes occur on all plate boudaries but volcano don't?
it is because of the type of plate boundaries that they are on
What do Earthquakes and volcanoes show power of what kind of movement?
plate movement
