How is volcanic activity associated with plate boundaries?
90% of volcanic activity on earth occurs at either convergent or divergent plate boundaries. The remaining 10% occurs at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
Do most severe earthquakes occur at plate boundaries or in the middle of plates?
Plate Boundaries
Do most earthquakes and volcanos occur at plate boundaries?
For the most part, yes. Plate boundaries are where they either converge, or diverge, or transform against each other. If they Diverge, that opens a space between the two spaces, letting lava flow out and create more sea floor. When they Converge (come together), that makes a ridge (although not necessarily a volcano). The Ring of Fire is a prime example of quakes and volcanoes appearing on plate boundaries. The 'Ring' is actually on plates, if you look at a map of Plate Boundaries (see Related Links) you can see that.
Why are earthquakes so common along plate boundaries?
because the plate boundaries will always go along with it
Is a volcano a convergent boundary?
No. A volcano is not a plate boundary. Most volcanoes on land are associated with convergent boundaries, but many are associated with divergent boundaries and others with hot spots.
What type of tectonic plate boundary is a strato-volcano on?
Most calderas are associated with subduction zones, a kind of convergent plate boundary. However, a few calderas, such as the ones at Yellowstone, are associated with hot spots rather than plate boundaries.
What is a fault of a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Do the plate boundaries form a volcano?
Yes.
What type of fault is a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Where would a volcano form?
at tectonic plate boundaries
What plate boundaries are present in Hawaii?
shield volcano
What boundary is a hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with plate boundaries except where the hot spot is coincidentally near one.
Is volcano an example of divergent convergent or transform?
A volcano itself is not an example of a plate boundary. They are found at divergent and convergent boundaries.
Is a stratovolcano a divergent volcano?
No, a stratovolcano is not a divergent volcano. Stratovolcanoes are typically found at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is being subducted beneath another, leading to the formation of explosive volcanoes. Divergent volcanoes, on the other hand, are associated with divergent plate boundaries where plates move away from each other, creating rift zones and shield volcanoes.
What type of plate boundaries will not cause a volcano to form?
tectonic
Why do earthquakes occur on all plate boudaries but volcano don't?
it is because of the type of plate boundaries that they are on
