I don't know :( this is my assignment :P
What else can I help you with?
Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
What consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
Why do volcanoes support the theory of plate tectonics?
Volcanoes are caused by the magma from the Earth's mantle; this magma is released through faults in the Earth's tectonic plates.
How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
What part of the earth are the tectonic plates moving above?
north and west
What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
Explain why volcanoes are commonly found at the edges of Earth's moving plates?
Volcanoes are commonly found at the edges of Earth's moving plates because this is where the movement of the plates causes the Earth's crust to become thinner and more fractured. Magma from the mantle below the crust can then more easily rise up through these fractures, leading to volcanic activity. This process is known as plate tectonics.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.

What are plate titonics?
They are plates moving under the earth, they create many natural disasters such as floods and volcanoes

Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
Most volcanoes on land are caused by the Earth's plates moving toward each other, a process known as convergent plate boundary. When two plates converge, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanoes along the subduction zone.
Is earth's crust stationary or moving?
The Earth's crust is not stationary; it is actually broken into several large pieces called tectonic plates that are constantly moving. These plates interact at their boundaries, leading to geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in common?
They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.
How do moving plates change the Earth's crust?
It changes because when the 2 tectonic plates collide they form mountains and volcanoes. Also with Alfred Weigners hypothesis the continents are always moving Continental drift and subduction zones the tectonic plates along the earth. continental drift causes tectonic plates to either "pull apart" or "crash" into each other. plates that crash into each other either form mountains, or when one slides under the other (a subduction zone) volcanoes from. *see "Volcanoes" for further explanation)

What help create volcanoes?
Volcanoes are created by the movement of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface. When two tectonic plates collide or move apart, magma from the mantle rises to the surface, eventually erupting through a volcano. Additionally, hotspots, subduction zones, and rift zones can also contribute to the formation of volcanoes.
