Why does volcanic activity take place normally near marine trenches?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The oceanic plate is denser than the Continental plate, therefore as they collide the oceanic plate will force itself underneath towards the molten rock underneath the Continental plate. As it pushes itself towards the Mantle the rock with be subjected to heat and pressure, the Molten is released; Hence a volcano.

∙ 9y agowe find volcanoes near active tectonic zones because the lava has to travel up and when the earth moves, there is a path for the lava to go up!

No. Limestone is usually formed from the shells of marine animals or calcite precipitates from seawater.

What is the job outlook for marine biology?
There is some growth in this profession, due to changing conditions in the marine environment and wildlife mainly because of human activity. While there will be job openings for marine biologists, the field is growing much slower than many other occupations.

What is the definition of debris?
Debris consists of fragments or material that remains after an object is damaged, wrecked, or destroyed. It can also apply to litter or refuse from an activity, such as marine debris along a seashore. In geology, debris is the rock, rubble, and other material left by geological activities (e.g. landslides, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, or glaciers).
