Where is gold located?
Near volcanoes, creeks, rivers, caves. Anywhere the earths plates meet and usually in veins.
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
Do volcanoes erupt in places where two of the earths plates meet?
yes sometimes
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
Are volcanoes located in the center plates?
Not usually. Most volcanoes are located near plate boundaries, but some volcanoes at hot spots do form in the middle of plates. A few include the volcanoes of Hawaii, the volcano at Yellowstone, and the Volcanoes of the Canary Islands.
Where are volcanoes normally located?
Over tectonic plates.
Can mountains on the Earths surface form in random locations with no relation to the Earth's plates?
true
What causes earthquakesand volcanoes to happen?
The earths plates rub together causing vibrations in the earth. Making Earthquakes If these plates are near volcanoes the friction will melt the magma causing a volcanic eruption.
What happen as earth's plates move away from each other?
When earths plates move away from each other ( separate ) Volcanoes form.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?
Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
