Where are volcanos found?
Volcanoes are located throughout most of the world. The most active volcanoes are found on the so-called "ring of fire" in Pacific Ocean. Indonesia has several volcanoes including Krakatoa. Hawaii's Kilauea produces the most lava of all active volcanoes in the world. North America has Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier in Washington, USA. Mexico has several including Parícutin and Nevado de Toluca. Europe has Mt. Etna.
What are three facts about composite volcanoes?
Multiple eruptions form composite volcanoes. Andesite magma is the most common type of magma that erupts from composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes can grow so high that their slopes become unstable and collapse.
Do volcanoes erupt only once?
Most volcanoes are active for a long time before dieing. So no an average volcano erupts more than once in its lifetime.
How many volcanoes erupted so far?
well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:
How many volcanoes are erupting every day in the US?
There is no fixed length to an erruption, it varies from volcano to volcano. a volcano can erupt in days or more than its depend on its manner .
Is a destructive plate boundary hazardous?
Very much so. This is where volcanoes, earthquakes and even tsunamis can occur.
Can a volcano be both a constructive force and a destructive force?
-The Hawaiian islands are actually underwater volcanoes that rose up out of the sea. So the Hawaiian islands were built up by the volcanoes.- On the other hand (i don't have to explain this) volcanoes cause destruction.So yes!
Why was sherman's march to the sea so destructive?
Sherman's March to the Sea was so destructive because it was not planned well and most people died.
Why are volcanoes earthquakes and tsunamis so destructive?
They involve the movement of tectonic plates under the Earths surface. These land masses are so large that if they move significantly there can be catastrophic results, such as them shaking (earthquakes on land or tsunamis on water) or letting through molten lava (volcanoes).
How many volcanoes are erupting?
Not many about 10. this is just my guess so...
Why do you have so many earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific plate?
It is a destructive boundry, when the plate sticks tention builds up when the two plates unstick there is massive shockwave.
Are there volcanoes on Antarctica?
yes one of the most popular volcano on Antarctic is mount Erebus
Where in the world is pumice found?
Pumice is formed from magma coming out of volcanoes where rhyolite would have formed, (Destructive plate margin), but has cooled so fast that it appears glassy, and almost non-crystalline.

Why is the Okefenokee swamp is destructive?
It was formed by rain so it is a destructive.

What are the main most active volcanoes today?
hey you know what it is so why are you on this remember this bby
