The Ring of Fire has many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.?
Why do the areas along the ring of fire experience many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Where are some of Earth's youngest rocks found?
Areas of recent volcanic eruptions such as the circum pacific regions.
How often do volcanoes erupt in Iceland?
Iceland sits on a volcanic hotspot in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and has relatively frequent eruptions, though most occur in sparsely populated areas and pose little danger to people or property. The last eruption was on April 14, 2010.
Large depressed areas on the moon's surface once thought to be remnants of ancient seas?
These dark areas are called maria. They are thought to be formed by volcanic eruptions in the moon's history.
Can lightning cause earthquakes?
No There are two main causes of earthquakes. Firstly, they can be linked to explosive volcanic eruptions; they are in fact very common in areas of volcanic activity where they either proceed or accompany eruptions. Secondly, they can be triggered by Tectonic activity associated with plate margins and faults. The majority of earthquakes world wide are of this type.
The Ring of Fire has many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.?
Why do the areas along the ring of fire experience many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Do volcanic eruptions only cause destruction?
No. Volcanic eruptions can build mountains and form new land. Many occur in remote areas where there is not much to destroy.
Why are farmers attracted to volcanic areas?

Where is tuff rock found?

What are the maria?
Lunar maria are areas on the moon where volcanic lava has flowed in the past. It is surmised that they result from asteroid or meteor strikes followed by volcanic eruptions.
Why do volcanic eruptions affect the temprature?
The volcanic eruptions affect the temperature due to the ash cloud it injects into the atmosphere. The ash cloud insulates the earth, preventing some of the warm of the sun from being absorb by the earth. This results in cooler temperatures in the affected areas.

Why do scientists want to know about volcanic eruptions in remote areas?
Because volcanoes in remote places are difficult for scientists who study volcanoes to know when one is erupting.
