Why does Google earth black out the middle of Antarctica?
There are a number of causes of graphical issues in Google Earth. In some cases you just need to clear your local cache and restart Google Earth. Another workaround to switch from DirectX to OpenGL Mode (or vice versa) and/or try running in safe mode. You may have to reinstall Google Earth or get the latest version.

Why does magma rise through the crust above it in an erupting volcano?
The Earth's internal pressures force magma to the surface in areas of weakness , or sometimes faults.
What causes volcanic activity in the middle of s lithosphere plate?

Area of volcanic activity in the middle of lithospheric plates?
felsic
Areas of volcanic activity in the middle of lithospheric plates are called?
Hot Spot
Why are the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Plate?
The Hawaiian islands are not the result of plate techtonics, they are the result of volcanic activity relating to a particular hot spot in the Earth's mantle, from which a plume of hot magma rises upward and causes volcanic eruptions.
Does the Pacific Ocean have volcanic activity?
Yes, there is volcanic activity in the Pacific Ocean. Most of it occurs near the edges of the Pacific, in a region called the Ring of Fire. These volcanoes are responsible for the formation of Indonesia, Japan, and the Aleutians Islands, to name a few. There are also volcanoes closer to the middle of the Pacific plate, which formed islands such as those of the South Pacific and Hawaii.
What volcano is located in the middle of the lithosphere?
magma
Why can some volcanoes be found in the middle of plates?
Some volcanoes can be found in the middle of a plate as it floats over a hot spot. This is where there is molten magma in the earth's crust that is very close to the earth's surface. They usually occur when there is a hole in the middle of the tectonic plate, causing the magma to seep through, slowly making a pile of rock.
Which volcanic islands are situated in the middle of the pacific?
Hawii
What is the layer that is part crust and part mantle?
The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
The mantle is made of what structural zones?
The upper mantle is part of the brittle lithosphere and the middle and lower mantle form the ductile asthenosphere.
Which was not a common activity for women in the late Middle Ages?
Witchcraft was not a common activity for women in the late Middle Ages.
What is the order of the layers of the earth?
The crust, then the lithosphere, then the asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core. The mantle is the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. So the mantle isn't really the middle of the earth.
