What volcanoes occur where two tectonic plates move apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
Rift volcanoes
What type of volcanoes occur when 2 tectonic plates move apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
Rift Volcanoes.
What help create volcanoes?
The moving earth plates and the heat (and other stuff) from under the earths crust.
Volcanoes in the ring of fire are supplied with magma rising from what?
The magma for volcanoes comes from the lower crust and the upper mantle. The movement of plate tectonics help create the conditions that melt rock which rises.
What is a thin place on Earths crust called where a volcanoes can form?
HOTSPOTS are a place on the earth's crust in the middle of a tectonic plate where volcanoes get formed rapidly.

What is volcanoes crust?
The volcanoes crust is what we live on! Its the outer most layer of Rock. :D
Convection currents in the earths crust causes volcanos?
No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of 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.
Did volcanoes create humans?
No, volcanoes did not create humans.

What are some volcanoes in Barbados?
It was formed by the tectonic upliftment in the earth's crust.
Do volcanoes occur in thick or thin earth's crust?
Thin as continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.
