What can be produced at an ocean-continental convergent boundary?
Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
What do scientists believe causes so many earthquakes in the middle of the Atlantic ocean?
scientists believe that the volcano and earthquakes activity in this area are due to the formation of new part of the Earth's crust along the ridge
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
What ocean has a ring of volcanoes and earthquakes around it?
Pacific Ocean
Why do earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the ring of fire?
The volcanic eruptions are the cause of tectonic movement of the "plates" meaning that when the plates hit each other they cause the magma under the earth to rise and sometimes erupt causing ash and sometimes lava to leave the volcanic shell in an eruption
What is the continental slope of the pacific ocean?
Volcanic activity, earthquakes, plate interactions
What is the name given to the baand of earthquakes and volcanic and activity arounnd the pacific ocean?
The Ring of Fire.
What area in the world has the greatest amount of earthquake and volcanic activity?
The Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean, is known for its high levels of earthquake and volcanic activity. This region is home to about 75% of the world's active volcanoes and experiences a large number of earthquakes due to tectonic plate movements.
What is it called when water is produced in earthquakes?
A tsunami is a series of ocean waves generated by sudden displacements in the sea floor due to earthquakes, volcanic activity, or underwater explosions.
When oceanic plunges beneath continental crust volcanic activity and earthquakes may result in which region does this occur?
The continental margins of the Pacific Ocean
Ninety percent of the worlds earthquakes occur around the?
Pacific Ocean rim.
A place with lots of volcanic activity?
A place known for its volcanic activity is the Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean and includes countries like Japan, Indonesia, and the United States. This region is home to a large number of active volcanoes and experiences frequent earthquakes as well. Visitors can witness volcanic eruptions and geothermal features in areas like Hawaii, Iceland, and New Zealand.
Was the Indian Ocean earthquake from an active dormant or extinct source?
Large earthquakes are not caused by volcanic activity - it can be the other way around, when nearby earthquakes trigger eruptions by destabilizing the magma structures.
What is the name for the region of volcanic activity in the Atlantic ocean?
The Mid Atlantic-Rift is the name for the region of volcanic activity in the Atlantic ocean.
Has an earthquake ever caused a tsunami?
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
What is the pacafic ring of the fire?
The Pacific Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped region in the Pacific Ocean basin known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. It is home to approximately 75% of the world's active volcanoes and experiences about 90% of the world's earthquakes. The Ring of Fire is located along the edges of the Pacific Plate, where it intersects with other tectonic plates.
How hot is the Ring Of Fire?
The Ring of Fire is a region in the Pacific Ocean known for its frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. The temperatures within the Ring of Fire vary depending on the specific locations of volcanic activity, but volcanic eruptions can reach temperatures as high as 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit.
