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
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.
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 plates is the ring of fire on?
volcano
Name any three type of plates?
Dinner plates, tectonic plates, and Norman Rockwell collectible plates.
What type of plate boundaries will not cause a volcano to form?
tectonic
What factor best describes what type of volcano will form in a given area?
The primary factor that determines the type of volcano that will form in a given area is the tectonic setting, particularly the interaction of tectonic plates. This includes whether the area is located at a divergent boundary, convergent boundary, or a hotspot. The composition of the magma generated, influenced by the tectonic setting and the geological characteristics of the crust, also plays a crucial role in determining whether the volcano will be shield, stratovolcano, or fissure. Additionally, the amount of gas in the magma can affect the explosiveness of the eruptions and the overall volcano type.
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.
What type of volcano forms where plates pull apart?
A shield volcano forms where plates pull apart. This type of volcano has gentle sloping sides and is characterized by its low viscosity lava flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include those in Hawaii.
What type of volcano forms where plates move apart?
The type of volcano that forms where tectonic plates move apart is called a fissure volcano. These volcanoes typically occur at divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, where magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates. As the magma erupts through fissures in the Earth's crust, it leads to the formation of new oceanic crust and can create extensive lava flows. An example of this is the volcanic activity along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What volcano word starts with t?
tectonic is related with volcano so it tectonic can be part of the answer as well
What type of tectonic boundary forms a volcano?
Normally a Divergent boundary because as the plates diverge, lava spews out, but they can also form at a Convergent boundary, or, although less likely, a transform boundary.
