Mount Vesuvius is located above a subduction zone formed where the African plate descends beneath Italy.
What plates caused Mount Shasta form?
cheese
When did vesuvius form?
mount vesuvius formed in 1200 B.C
What type of plate boundary caused Mount Vesuvius to form?
Mount Vesuvius formed at a convergent plate boundary where the African Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction leads to the melting of the mantle, which generates magma that rises to the surface, resulting in volcanic activity. The interaction between these tectonic plates is responsible for the formation of the volcano and its explosive eruptions.
How does mount vesuvius relate to tectonic plates?
Mount Vesuvius is the result of a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate slides under another. In this case the portion of the African Plate that is under the Mediterranean is sliding under the Eurasian Plate. This generates magma tha allows volcanoes to form.
What boundary did Mount Vesuvious form from?
The type of plate boundary the Vesuvius is located on it a subduction zone in latitude 40.9n and 14e. It lies on the convergant boundry of the African and Euasian plates.

What plates cause San Cristobal volcano to form?

What is the scientific reason for mount vesuvius' explosion?
The scientific reason for Mt. Vesuvius's eruption, is that pressure on the rocks the closest to the mantle increases when two continental plates collide and push against each other causing the ground to quake, and the rocks to melt and form magma. Then as the magma in the mantle increases the magma rises into the magma chambers. Then the pressure in the magma chambers increases, and it continues to build up until the volcano can't stand the pressure and the volcano erupts, and explodes.
Did Mount Vesuvius form in a caldera?
No, Mount Vesuvius is a composite volcano and its latest eruption was in 1944. Some sources say that in that eruption, Mt. Vesuvius collapsed in a caldera, but it didn't. FYI: A caldera is a volcano that had an extremely explosive eruption that emptied the magma chamber, causing the volcano to collapse in on itself. An example of a caldera is Crater Lake in Oregon.
