Volcanoes occur at divergent and convergent plate boundaries due to the fact that crust is either being destroyed or created. Volcanoes also occur at hotspots, for example in Hawaii. Hotspots occur where the crust is particularly thin or weak, and plumes of magma rising from the asthenosphere (between upper mantle and the crust) end up giving rise to volcanoes or volcanic islands.
What else can I help you with?
What differences do you see in the myths that surround volcanoes?
The myths that surround volcanoes vary by culture, but they have more things in common than they do differences. Volcanoes are often said to be the home of various gods and goddesses, and eruptions occur when the resident gods get angry.
Where do earthquake and volcanoes most often occur in relationship to plate tectonics?
Close to the fault line of tectonic plates the closer the more destruction.
Volcanoes most often occur at plate boundaries and?
At interpolate hot spots
What seasons do volcanoes occur?
volcanoes can occur in any season
Do volcanoes occur in hot countries?
Volcanoes can occur in hot countries, but they are not exclusive to them. Volcanoes are often found along tectonic plate boundaries where magma from the Earth's mantle can reach the surface. This can happen in both hot and cold regions.
Does regional metamorphism occur under volcanoes?
Yes they do occur under volcanoes
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Where do volcanoes occur most often and why?
Volcanoes are most often found along plate boundaries. Here, conditions cause rocks in the upper mantle to melt, either by introducing volatiles or by reducing pressure.
Is it true earthquakes and volcanoes often occur where two of the earth's plates meet?
that's what ive heard
Why do volcanoes often occur at convergent plate boundaries?
Because that is where thee is most magma exerting force
Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
Why volcanoes occur in the Caribbean region?
volcanoes occur in the Caribbean most because of the triad , the triad is 3 plates that all push against each other there are more than 3,0000 triads in the Caribbean. when the all hit each other they send cracks into space which make more volcanoes appear in the caribbean........
