Rift volcanoes.
What else can I help you with?
Why can volcanoes be constructive and a destructive?
Volcanoes can be constructive when they form islands and mid-ocean ridges
Volcanoes that form along mid-ocean ridges occur at?
Volcanoes that form along mid-ocean ridges occur at divergent tectonic plate boundaries, where two plates are moving away from each other. Magma rises to the surface through the cracks created by the diverging plates, resulting in the formation of underwater volcanoes.
What types rocks form from volcanoes?
ignious
Types of landforms formed by divergent boundaries?
Divergent boundaries can create landforms such as rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, and volcanoes. Rift valleys are formed on continents when tectonic plates pull apart, creating long, narrow valleys. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form when new oceanic crust is created as plates move apart. Volcanoes can also form along divergent boundaries as magma rises to the surface through the newly formed crust.
What are subglacial volcanoes?
Subglacial volcanoes are volcanoes that form beneath glaciers or ice sheets. When magma rises to the surface and comes into contact with ice, it can lead to explosive interactions that result in the formation of subglacial volcanic features like tuyas, subglacial ridges, and hyaloclastite ridges.
What determine the type of volcano?
Its magma composition.different types of volcanic eruptions form different types of volcanoes
How are mid-ocean ridges and seamount relates to volcanoes?
Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain chains where tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise up and form new crust, often accompanied by volcanic activity. Seamounts are submarine volcanoes that are formed by lava rising from the ocean floor. Both mid-ocean ridges and seamounts are related to volcanic activity as they involve the release of molten rock (magma) onto the ocean floor.
How do the three types of rock form?
Press under the earth. Erosion, and volcanoes.
What are two types of plate boundaries where volcanoes might form?
Volcanoes can form at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust, as seen in mid-ocean ridges. They can also form at convergent plate boundaries, where one plate subducts beneath another, leading to melting of the subducted plate and the formation of magma, which can result in volcanic eruptions, as observed in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Why do you have mountains and volcanoes?
Mountains are formed by the movement and coliding of tectonic plates as they become deformed. Volcanoes form when the pressure of magma underneath the surface becomes too great for the ground to withstand and the magma explodes out of the ground forming craters and ridges.
In what kind of situation might volcanoes form?
Volcanoes typically form at tectonic plate boundaries, where one plate is forced beneath another in a process called subduction. This subduction creates a zone of intense pressure and heat that can result in magma rising to the surface, forming a volcano. Volcanoes can also form along mid-ocean ridges and hotspots in the Earth's mantle.
What are some common questions about volcanoes?
Common questions about volcanoes include: How do volcanoes form? What causes volcanic eruptions? What are the different types of volcanoes? How do scientists monitor volcanic activity? Are there warning signs before a volcano erupts?
