What type of lithosphere are volcanoes that always have nonexplosive eruptions located?
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
Does Saturn have any volcanoes?
No, but its moon, Titan, may have volcanoes.
How does the structure of the earth help explain why earthquakes and volcanoes occur along lines?
well basically because of the sphere shape of the earth the inner layers such as the mantle, inner core outer and crust the volcanoes will always grow in the direction of the sun because they are like plants and need sunlight to keep them alive, there fore all volcanoes will get there sun because of the rotation of the earth. Thank you i hope i helped.
Where is the O2 sensor located on a Lincoln Continental?
It is always located right after the manifold. It looks like a spark plug with a wire going to it.
Describe the distribution of earthquakes volcanoes and fold mountains in relation to plate margins?
The distribution of volcanoes is worldwide, although they are usually perceived to only occur on Plate Boundaries (PBs). However this is not always the case. Sometimes they can occur on faults or ancient faults like Mount Etna, which is still active because the fault line it used to lie on still provides it with magma. Volcanoes can also be present at hotspots, for example, the volcanic Hawaiian Islands. However the largest and most lethal volcanoes are primarily on PBs, sometimes concentrated in a certain area, like the "Ring of fire" on the borders between the Pacific plate and the surrounding plates. These volcanoes often due to spreading ridges, causing gaps through which magma flows up. Volcanoes in this area usually follow earthquakes, which are even more frequent there than on faults
What type of lithosphere are volcanoes that always have nonexplosive eruptions located?
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
Do shield volcanoes produce quiet or explosive eruptions?
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.
Is a shield volcano quiet or loud?
No, they produce very explosive eruptions. They do not erupt much magma, instead exuding chunks of ash and semi-hardened igneous rock.
Are volcanoes that always erupt explosively located on water or land?
land
Where are volcanoes that always erupt explosive located?
Many are in Europe.
Are volcanoes always located near Mountain ranges?
Yes. The majority of volcanoes are found near plate boundaries.
Where a geysers always located?
They are mostly near active volcanoes.
Does a volcano erupt when the inner core is super heated?
No. The inner core does not directly affect volcanic activity. Earth experiences an estimate 50 eruptions every year from volcanoes on land and even more from volcanoes under the sea. So there is almost always some volcanic activity going on. A number of circumstances are believed to be capable of triggering volcanic eruptions, most of which involve events in the general vicinity of the volcano in question. One likely cause of some eruptions is a fresh injection of magma into the magma chamber from the upper mantle.
What is the typical shape of a shield volcano?
Shield volcanoes are in the shape of a shield. Hence, the name shield volcano! Shield volcanoes are tall and broad with flat rounded shapes. They have low slpes and almost always have large craters. Shield volcanoes form from eruptions of flowing lava. THe lava spreads out and builds up volcanoes with broad, gently, sloping sides. One example of a shield volcano is the Hawaiian Islands.
Are rhyolite pumice and tuff from violent eruptions?
Pumice and tuff are the product of violent eruptions. Rhyolite is often, but not always produced by violent eruptions, but it can also form from slow, extrusive eruptions.
Are there any volcano's in Puerto Rico?
There are currently no active volcanoes located on the island of Puerto Rico, which may have been formed by a volcano (or possibly a series of volcanoes) many, probably thousands of years ago. Because the island is located on the southern edge of the Puerto Rico Trench, there is always the danger of earthquakes and tsunamis.
How would you know that a volcano is active?
When It always does eruptions.
