When a new volcano is discovered what type of plate interaction is most likely cause of the volcano?
Lateral movement of the tectonic plates is the interaction that is the most likely cause of the volcano. The outermost shell of the planet is broken up into tectonic plates.
Why is an active volcano that type of volcano?
a volcano gets active when tectonic plates move, then the lava tubes start working and then it gets active. anusha gupta
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
What type of plate has plates sliding past each other?
The tectonic plates
Name any three type of plates?
Dinner plates, tectonic plates, and Norman Rockwell collectible plates.
What type of volcano forms where plates pull apart?
Rift Volcano forms when plates pull apart.
How does location of a volcano determine the type?
The type of magma underneath the volcano changes with location and the type of volcano. If the magma is lest energetic, the lava will only slowly flow but if the magma has been building up and is energetic, there will be a blast. Hawaii will never explode because it's a hot-spot and isn't near tectonic plates. The closer you are to the edge of a tectonic plate, the bigger the blast will be.
What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
Tectonic plates may be made of continental crust, oceanic crust, or both.
What type of plate boundaries will not cause a volcano to form?
tectonic
What type of plates is the ring of fire on?
volcano
What tectonic plates are colliding?
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
Which type of plate margins commonly form valcanoes?
tectonic plates
