Why does New Jersey have so few earthquakes and volcanoes?
It is not near a fault line or tectonic plate border.
Where do volcanoes occur on earth?
Volcanoes occur along tectonic borders. More specifically, a border between an oceanic plate, and a land plate. Oceanic plates are more dense than land plates, which causes them to sink beneath land plates. Along these borders, magma can seep up to above the plates, cool, and form a volcano. This is what caused the "Ring of Fire," a ring of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean.
Where is Siam located on a map?
Siam is located on the southeast border of Asia. (Near the Phillipines.)
Where is mt aconagua located?
Mount Aconcagua is located in west-central Argentina. It is located in the western Mendoza province along the border of Chile.
What is a convergent earthquake?
A convergent earthquake happens when two techtonic plates are moving toward each other and one is submerging under the other. Think of a car accident between a Mazda and a Humvee. The Mazda would be the submerging plate in this example....and because they're coming toward each other (the plates), it is more destructive. When tectonic plates slide along each other, its a transform border....more like a side swipe instead of a head on collision.
Why does New Jersey have so few earthquakes and volcanoes?
It is not near a fault line or tectonic plate border.
Why are there earthquakes but no volcanoes in the Himalayas?
Because it is a natural border not a active volcano
Is the ring of fire is called because it has loads of volcanoes?
The border of the Pacific Ocean is a tectonically active zone with lots of earthquakes and volcanoes; you are correct that it is the volcanoes which have inspired the term "ring of fire".
Why do most earthquakes occur at tectonic plate boundaries?
because they hit each other and create an even bigger reaction
Does Alaska have earthquakes?
Yes. Southern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands border a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate slides under another. This subduction zone has produced some of the most powerful Earthquakes on Earth.
Southern Italy is very close to the border of two tectonic plates. Which of these facts is most directly related to the closeness of the plate boundary?
Italy has experienced many earthquakes.
Why do so many earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the ring of fire?
Well, honey, the Ring of Fire is like the bad boy of geological features. It's where tectonic plates throw the ultimate temper tantrum, causing earthquakes and volcanoes to party like it's the end of the world. So, if you wanna live life on the edge, just hang out along the Ring of Fire and watch nature show off its fiery moves.
What is the name of the mountain range in Utah that was created by earthquakes?
The mountain range in Utah created by earthquakes is called the Wasatch Range. It runs from the Utah-Idaho border in the north to central Utah in the south and was formed through tectonic activity along the Wasatch Fault.
What countries of the world are more prone to earthquake?
Earthquakes occur around the areas where volcanoes are so if you look at a map of a volcanoes around the world, you'll be able to see. Of course there's some variation as to the location of earthquakes to that of a volcano but to decide one point, it would have to be the ring of fire.
Where are volcanoes lgwisi hills located?
The Lwigi Hills are located in the western part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, near the border with Rwanda. The area is known for its volcanic activity, with several active and dormant volcanoes in the region.
Do earthquakes happen in same or different places?
Yes volcanoes generally erupt and form on the Borders between tectonic plates under the earths surface, as the route between the earths core and the surface is weaker on these lines. Same with earthquakes, this is when the tectonic plates move or shift against one another
Does the Eurasian plate have any volcanoes located on or around it?
Yes. Some volcanoes on the Eurasian Plate include: Mount Etna in Sicily, Mount Vesuvius in Italy, Santorini off the coast of Greece, Mount Baekdu on the border of China and North Korea, Mount Unzen in Japan, and many others.
