They are found there because magma is forced upwards, causing the volcano to form.

Because magma is forced upwards, or magma fills in a space, causing the volcano to form.

Explain why volcanoes are commonly found at the edges of Earth's moving plates?

it is because the magma in the volcano makes it sink and the moving plates are vewwy vewwy cool


What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?

When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.


What force occurs where Earth's plates are moving apart?

Tectonic forces (earthquakes, volcanoes...)


Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's 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 formed when tectonic plates are moving?

When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.


What are plate titonics?

They are plates moving under the earth, they create many natural disasters such as floods and volcanoes


What help create volcanoes?

The moving earth plates and the heat (and other stuff) from under the earths crust.


What consequences does the tectonic plates have?

The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.


How does the structure of the earth's surface result in an earthquake?

Its When Tectonic plates either collide Or Move Apart. Examples Of Tectonic Plates moving Together are mountains and volcanoes.


What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in common?

They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.


How do moving plates change earth's crust?

It changes because when the 2 tectonic plates collide they form mountains and volcanoes. Also with Alfred Weigners hypothesis the continents are always moving Continental drift and subduction zones the tectonic plates along the earth. continental drift causes tectonic plates to either "pull apart" or "crash" into each other. plates that crash into each other either form mountains, or when one slides under the other (a subduction zone) volcanoes from. *see "Volcanoes" for further explanation)
