Does Saturn have volcanoes or rings?
saturn has rings they dont have volcanoes
Does Montana have volcanoes?
There are no active volcanoes in Montana. You have to go further west to the Cascade Range to find volcanoes. The volcanoes in the Cascades are caused by the subduction of the oceanic crust under the continental crust.
What land form stopped the Persian empire from spreading north?
The Aegean Sea (supplemented by the resistance of the southern city-states of mainland Greece to Persian takeover).
What are natural and built in features of Japan?

Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
Where do large number of volcanoes form?
Volcanoes Form at Active Subduction Zones or in the ring of fire
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
How do volcano's form over spreading plates and subduction zones?
they dont affect it
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones?
magma forms in mantle above slab
What kind of volcanoes form along subduction zones?
Usually composite volcanoes. subduction zone volcanos usually form steep sided composite cones composed primarily of andesite
How are volcanoes distributed in the map are they scattered evenly or concentrated in zones?
Volcanoes are in concentrated zones.
Do composite volcanoes form at subduction?
Usually, yes. Occasionally, though they can form in rift zones or at continental hotspots.
