What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
What boudaries produces volcanoes?
Convergent boundaries produce volcanoes. Volcanoes form when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge, causing the oceanic plate to subduct. The subduction causes a magma chamber to form which feeds the volcano when it erupts.
What is the process that causes and earthquake?
Earthquakes are caused by transform faults and when stress overcomes friction. volcanoes are caused by convergent boundaries, the process of convergent boundaries is when two plates come in contact with each other. ex. for volcano is a oceanic plate sub ducts under a continental plate.
What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
What boundaries produce volcanos?
plate boundaries can produce volcanoes
What boundaries can produce volcanos?
plate boundaries can produce volcanoes
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
Where do volcanos happen?
Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
Why are most volcanoes located near a fault?
Most volcanoes form at either convergent or divergent plate boundaries. Volcanoes at convergent plate boundaries form when one plate slides under another, taking seawater with it. This causes the rock in the mantle to melt as the melting point drops. This new magma can rise to form volcanoes.At divergent plate boundaries the crust is thing, which lowers pressure on the mantle, causing some material to melt.
What is the layer of the earth where volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes occur in the Earth's crust, specifically at tectonic plate boundaries where magma rises to the surface through cracks and weak points in the crust. This process can happen at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Where do volcanoes tend to exist?
On the edges of plate boundaries
