What type of crustal plate movement creates volcanoes?

Answer 1

Divergent plate boundaries create rift volcanism. Oceanic to oceanic crust convergence and oceanic to continental plate convergence can create volcanism when one plate subducts under the less dense plate.

Answer 2

When tectonic plates crash into each other they can form a small mountain. that is how mountains have formed, over the years they get taller or shorter based on the movement of tectonic plates. When these small mountains form, a odd occurrence can happen. Lava or hot liquid rock can be disturbed and start to move into the newly form crevasses of the mountain. This mountain can then start to spew lava from holes on the top and sides of the mountain. Therefore creating a volcano.

When the lava receives pressure it goes up and out the nearest volcano.

Answer 3

a hill with a in dent like a cupcake and has a cut in the earth where lave and ash can come out of

Answer 4

They rub together under the Earth therefore causing volcanic eruptions , JK I don't know but try Yahoo answers.

Answer 5

Both divergent plate movement (e.g. that which occurs at Mid-Ocean-Ridges) and convergent plate movement (e.g. at subduction zones) causes volcanism.

Answer 6

you are a smart person so you must answer the question yourself!

Answer 7

convergent boundary

Answer 8

Transform Boundry

Answer 9

by moving up

Answer 10
