Why dont volcanoes form along the san A ndreas fault?
Because there aren't any volcanos nearby and if there is baisicly a hole in the ground then how it probably would fill up the cracks before an volcano were to form.
Why do volcanoes not form along the San Andreas Fault?
Volcanoes do not form along the San Andreas Fault because the fault is a transform boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, rather than colliding or separating to create the conditions necessary for volcanic activity.
Why do volcanoes don't form along the San Andreas Fault?
Volcanoes don't form along the San Andreas Fault because it is a strike-slip fault. This means that neither plate is being subducted under the other--they are just sliding past each other. Because of this, there is no magma, or a way for the magma to come up.

Why are there volcanoes popping up everywhere?
They do not pop up everywhere. they only occur along the fault lines (where the plates that form the earth's crust meet). Volcanoes have been occurring along fault lines since the creation of the earth's crust (billions of years)
What do fault lines and volcanoes have to do with one another?
The most active fault lines are usually at boundaries between tectonic plates. Most volcanoes form at boundaries where plates either come together or move apart. Additionally, in an area where conditions are right for volcanoes to form, faults can provide a pathway for magma to reach to surface to form a volcano, thus influencing where volcanoes form on a localized scale.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
No, Earth's active volcanoes are not scattered randomly. Most active volcanoes are concentrated along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where volcanic activity is caused by the movement and interaction of these plates. These areas include the Pacific Ring of Fire and mid-ocean ridges.
Why don't volcano's form along San Andres fault?
When volcanoes form, they are typically caused by a convergent or divergent motion. The San Andreas Fault was formed from a transform motion, or when the plates slide past each other.
What are two natrial dasasters are comonly associated with the movement of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes form when two plates move against each other along a fault line.
How volcanes distributed?
Volcanoes form along convergent boundaries known as subduction zones. Convergent boundaries form where oceanic lithosphere descends beneath continental crust. When the two plates collide convergence occurs, while volcanoes form along the zone.
What usually occurs near a fault line in the Earth's crust?
Earthquakes, and volcanoes form.
Can volcanoes form along divergent boundaries on land?
yes
