Why do volcanoes cluster along narrow mountainous belts?
I don't know!! No...Really, I don't.
What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
Types of volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes:Large base areaGentle slopeContains basic lavaFrequent eruptionsQuiet and gentle eruptionsVery tall in height due to large base areaComposite Volcanoes:Relatively small base areaConcave slopeContains acidic lavaViolent eruptionsRepeated eruptionsErupts from the side conesUsually not very tall in height due to gentle slopesAcid-lava VolcanoesSmall base areaSteep slopeContains acidic lavaViolent eruptionsCreates crater lakes (caldera) after eruptionsTall in height due to steep slopesCinder ConesSmall base areaSteep slopesSymmetrical slopesModerate eruptionsNot tall in height as slopes are easily eroded
Where can a feature of scree be found?
It is mostly found at the bottom base of cliffs , mountain cliffs , volcanoes or valley shoulders
What are the similarities and differences between the types of volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes have fluid basaltic flows that are lower in silicates, making the lava very fluid without a tendency to form pyroclastics. Composite Cone volcanoes contain the highest percentage of silica content making the magma thicker with the greatest tendency to form pyroclastics and are the most dangerous volcanoes.
What is a small volcanic mountain wih a narrow base and steep sides?
a cinder cone volcano
Why do earthquakes occur in narrow belts?
Volcanoes occur in long, narrow belts because that's were the pate boundaries are.

Can a cone-shaped mountain form?
Cinder-cone volcanoes are built by thick lava that is thrown high into the air and falls as chunks or cinders. These mountains form as a cone shape with narrow base and steep sides.
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Why do cinder volcanos have narrow bases and steeper sides than shields volcanos do?
shield volcanoes have cinders that come out then land on it. that's what makes them bigger than cinder cone volcanoes.
Is base band and narrow band are same?
They are the same.
How do people who live at the base of volcanoes survive?
they dont, they burn to death :)
What is the narrow black line at the base of the canyon?
Possibly the road

Why do volcanoes tend to cluster along narrow mountainous belts?
They tend to cluster around mountainous belts because of where they are on the plate boundaries abigail matthews
How are the mountains that are formed by subduction diffrent from mountains formed by continental crusts converging?
Subducting crust produces volcanoes and a narrow range of mountains (like the Andes). Continental convergence does not produce volcanoes and produces a wider range of mountains (Rockies or Himalayas).
