What else can I help you with?
Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?
no
Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
What consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
How can magma cause the plates that carry the continents to move apart?
magma is very hot so as it boils it moves the plates of the earth causing the continents to slowly move apart
What does plate tectonics have to do with volcanoes and earthquakes?
volcanoes: make the ground crumble and break and cause plates to move and smash earthquakes: makes the ground break and smash together and causes plates because they break when they hit each other.
Do plate boundaries cause volcanoes?
Not per-Se, but plates pulling apart AND plates being overridden do cause magma upwellings.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
How do plates pull apart?
The process called plate tectonics is responsible for plates pulling apart. Over time, and with the combination of carbon dioxide, erosion, and force, plates are able to pull apart. This will eventually cause some plates to separate from one another.
What trenches cause?
The thing that causes oceanic trenches would be two ocean plates pulling apart. This would leave a space in between the plates that is the trench.
What do subducting plates cause?
volcanoes
Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?
no
What is the cause of most volcanoes found on land?
Most land volcanoes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When plates move apart or collide, it can create cracks in the Earth's crust, allowing magma to rise to the surface and form a volcano.
What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
What is the main cause of the volcanoes?
The tectonic plates rubbing together
Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
Why don't all boundaries cause volcanoes?
Not all boundaries cause volcanoes because volcanic activity is primarily determined by the movement and interaction of tectonic plates. Volcanoes are mainly formed at divergent and convergent plate boundaries, where the plates either move apart or collide. Transform plate boundaries, where plates slide past each other, do not typically have volcanic activity. Additionally, the presence of a hotspot or a region with abnormally hot mantle material can also lead to volcanoes forming away from plate boundaries.
