They are located at divergent boundaries and hot spots.
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
No, but its moon, Titan, may have volcanoes.
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.
It is always located right after the manifold. It looks like a spark plug with a wire going to it.
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
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.
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.
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.
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.
Many are in Europe.
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.
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.
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.
They are mostly near active volcanoes.
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.
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.
