What term is given to large depressions associated with volcanoes that form when volcanoes explode or collapse in the Earth?
That term is 'calderas'
What is the difference between Compare volcanoes that form on land with volcanoes that form in the ocean.?
Land Volcanoes eat lamas and underwater volcanoes eat camals
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Are cinder cones usually found at the edge of large volcanoes?
Yes, although technically, strato-volcanoes *are* cinder cones (composite cones), built up of layers of ash. But the term "cinder cones" (ash cones) is usually applied to smaller cones that form within the vicinity of large volcanic calderas, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. They may be associated with either strato-volcanoes or shield volcanoes.
What type of volcanoes are the hawaiians islands?

What is the name of the location that has a large number of volcanoes?

Where do a large number of worlds active volcanoes lie?
They lie in the ring of fire
How do volcanoes form in the ring of fire?
Volcanoes can form from other other volcanoes in the ring of fire
Where do volcanoes mostly form?
Volcanoes usually form where tectonic plates meet.
What would you expect to find in a region with a large number of volcanoes?
fire and burnt up leaves and vines
What is the difference between Compare volcanoes that form on land with volcanoes that form in the ocean.?

What kind of volcanoes form mountains?
shield volcanoes
What volcanoes form at spreading zones?
composite volcanoes
Do volcanoes make deserts?
No, generally not. Mountain ranges can create deserts, but volcanoes generally do not form large ranges. A volcano can temporarily wipe out vegetation in an area, but it grows back fairly quickly.
In Hawaii How many volcanoes built the large island?
5 Volcanoes
What are conditions that large and small crystals will form?
large crystals (that form from volcanoes) form when lava under ground gets separated from the main lava chamber and begins slowly cooling. Smaller crystals form when either, one: Volcanoes erupt and lava cools, or two: Lava under ground gets separated from main lava chamber close to the surface and cools fairly quickly.
