What explains the locations of mountains trenches and volcanoes?
The locations of mountains, trenches, and volcanoes are primarily influenced by plate tectonics. Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and create uplift. Trenches are formed at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another. Volcanoes can occur at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and hot spots where magma rises to the surface.
How do plates tectonics cause volcanoes to occur?
At oceanic-continental convergent boundaries the oceanic plate goes under the continental plate because it is more dense. The the oceanic plate melts and builds up and after a while allot builds and eats through the crust finally coming out and creating a volcano
Are there any volcanoes in Serbia?
the UK does have volcanoes but they arn't active
What explains location of mountain trenches and volcanoes?
i dont know so dont ask
How do the locations of earthqakes support the theory of plate tectonics?
Observations of earthquakes and volcanic activity support the theory of plate tectonics because they both occur on boundaries. Boundaries are where plates meet and either converge, diverge or transform.
Why are new igneous rocks formed at constructive and destructive plate boundaries?
dont no
Where in the world do earthquakes and volcanoes happen?
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.
What happens at the three types of plate boundaries?
i dont know so figure it out hahahahahah lol
Does Saturn have volcanoes or rings?
saturn has rings they dont have volcanoes
What are all the plate boundaries?
There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries (plates move apart), convergent boundaries (plates move towards each other), and transform boundaries (plates slide past each other). Each boundary type can result in different geologic features and events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.
Do all volcanoes have hot spots?
No. While volcanoes can erupt very hot material, a volcano that is not actively erupting may not be any warmer than an ordinary mountain. Even on an active volcano, temperatures away from the vent may be normal.
Describe how ocean basin shrinking takes place at convergent boundaries. Give an example of this process.?
Ocean basin shrinking at convergent boundaries occurs when two tectonic plates collide, leading to subduction of the denser oceanic plate beneath the less dense continental plate. This process results in the closure of the ocean basin and the formation of mountain ranges or volcanic arcs along the convergent boundary. An example of this is the Andes Mountains in South America, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, causing the ocean basin to shrink and the mountains to rise.
