What else can I help you with?
Where and when will a volcano most likely occur?
where two plates converge or dirverge
What kind of eruption can occur where one of earth's plates is sliding under another?
a volcano
What and where do disaster volcanoes most occur?
they mostly occur on the edge of the tectonic plates - the earts plates which make up the crust. when to plates collide push or pull against eachother this will eather form a volcano or an earthquake
Where and why do volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes occur when magma makes it way to the surface. The volcano begins as a lava flow but as it continues to erupt the volcano gets bigger. The volcano eruptions are determined by the pressure and density of the magma chamber.
Where do earthquakes and volcanes occur?
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.
Would you expect plate tectonic activity similar to that on the earth to occur on the Moon?
No. The moon does not have a molten core for the plates to "float" on.
Why volcanoes do occur along plate boundaries?
It's because the plates push up and up to make... drumroll please... drumroll a volcano!
Do volcanoes happen in the same place?
No, volcanoes don't occur in the same place because there was a volcano in Hawaii and maybe somewhere in Asia.
How do some volcanoes occur where one plate sinks beneath the other?
The plates get pushed up, then the the plate that gets pushed, pushes land up then you have a volcano.
Along which type of transform boundary would you expect the most severe earthquake to occur one in which the plates move slowly past each other or one in which the plates stick for years at a time?
The latter case.
What type of volcano forms where plates move apart?
The type of volcano that forms where tectonic plates move apart is called a fissure volcano. These volcanoes typically occur at divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, where magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates. As the magma erupts through fissures in the Earth's crust, it leads to the formation of new oceanic crust and can create extensive lava flows. An example of this is the volcanic activity along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Can a volcano occur in water?
yes, Hawaii was formed from a volcano
