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?

Do shield volcanoes produce quiet or explosive eruptions?

Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.


Are volcanoes that always erupt explosively located on water or land?

Volcanoes that always erupt explosively can be located on both water and land. The type of eruption is determined by the composition of the magma within the volcano, not its location. Explosive eruptions are typically caused by the high pressure buildup of gas within the magma.


Is a shield volcano quiet or loud?

Shield volcanoes are typically quiet volcanoes, known for their gentle eruptions with slow-moving lava flows. These eruptions are often non-explosive compared to other types of volcanoes, such as stratovolcanoes.


What is the severity for Mount Etna?

Mount Etna is an active volcano located in Sicily, Italy. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and has a history of eruptions causing damage to nearby communities. The severity of Mount Etna's activity can vary, but caution is always advised due to the potential for eruptions and lava flows.


Where are volcanoes that always erupt explosive located?

Many are in Europe.


Are volcanoes always located near Mountain ranges?

No, volcanoes are not always located near mountain ranges. While many volcanoes are associated with mountain ranges formed by tectonic plate movements, volcanoes can also occur in other geological settings such as island chains, ocean ridges, and hot spots on the Earth's surface.


Do dome-shaped mountain's erupt?

Yes, dome-shaped mountains can erupt if they are volcanoes. The dome shape is typically formed by viscous lava accumulation during non-explosive eruptions, creating a gentle slope. While the eruptions may be less violent compared to stratovolcanoes, dome-shaped volcanoes can still release lava, ash, and gas.


What are active volcanos?

Active volcanoes are those which are liable to erupt or have shown frequent eruptions within recent history.They are ones that still erupt at (irregular) intervals, often gently emitting gases and steam during their quiescent spells.


Where a geysers always located?

They are mostly near active volcanoes.


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.


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.
