Can a volcanoe cause an earthquake?
Yes. The volcano eruption can affect the plates and a earthquake might happen. +++ It's generally the other way round. Most active earthquake zones lie over subducting plates and it the stick-slip movement of these that cause the tremors. The associated volcanoes are a following process, emitting magma formed from partial melting of the subducted plate.
Which planet has most volcanoes?
The planet Earth has the most active volcanoes.Mars had the largest volcano known in the solar systemVenus had the most volcanoes.Io a moon of Jupiter has the most active volcanoes in the Solar System, with over 400.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Earth has the most active volcanoes where as Mars has the biggest volcanoe in the universe but the planet which has the most volcanoes would be Venus.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A difficult question as it depends on whether you include active, inactive or dormant.Including all of them, then Venus, followed by Earth and then Mars.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Forgetting planets, then Io a moon of Jupiter is the most active volcanic body in our Solar System with over 400 known active volcanoes.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Very easy answer . . . Venus has perhaps up to a million volcanoes. For sure it has more than 100,000 volcanoes - we cannot yet tell how many of these are active, or temporarily dormant.
What mountain range in the west does not have a volcano?
The Sierra Nevada mountain range in California does not have any active volcanoes. It is primarily composed of granite and has a different geological history compared to other mountain ranges in the west that do have volcanoes.
Ring of fire facts?
The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped area in the Pacific Ocean known for its high levels of seismic and volcanic activity. It is home to approximately 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes and experiences about 90% of the world's earthquakes. The area is characterized by subduction zones, where tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other, leading to volcanic and seismic events.
Why is it important to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
It is important to do this because then people will know how much damage it REALLY caused, if it could've triggered tsunamis, how big it is, the epicenters' magnitude, and where it started. They would also know possible ways that it happened, if it is linked to other earthquakes, and what it could cause in the future. That is why it is important to locate the epicenter.
Can you locate earthquakes epicenters?
No, I am not able to locate earthquake epicenters in real time. I recommend referring to official sources such as the United States Geological Survey (USGS) or other regional geological organizations for up-to-date earthquake information.
Which American state has more active volcanoes than all other states combined?
Alaska has more active volcanoes than all other American states combined. It is home to over 130 active volcanoes, which is more than the rest of the United States combined.
Are there volcanoes in the solar system other than on earth?
Io the Moon of jupter has over 400 active volcanoes.
Continents that have the fewest volcanoes?
Australia is the continent with the fewest volcanoes.
What countries have the most volcanoes?
Indonesia has the most number of volcanoes. It has 167 of the 850 active volcanoes known in the world. These include the famous volcanoes Krakatoa, Tambora, and Merapi. Japan and the United States follow in rank.
How long have volcanoes been active?
Volcanoes have been here over 4 billion years! practicly sincethe world started noot to mention the volcanos that have been active on other planets
What is a famous active volcano?
Famous active volcanoes include Mount Vesuvius, Mount St. Helens, and Mauna Loa. Other volcanoes include Mount Merapi, Mount Etna, and Mount Rainier.
Name 2 active volcanoes?
There are many Volcanoes in the world but not a lot of them are active today. One active volcano is in Hawaii, and the other volcano is in Greenland. Happy i answered your question.:)
Where does the US rank in the number of Volcanoes?
The United States has around 169 active volcanoes, which is more than any other country in the world. The most well-known volcanic region in the US is in Hawaii, with the active Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes.
Are volcanoes found on any other planet besides Earth?
Yes. There are volcanoes on Venus and Mars as well as Jupiter's moon Io. None of the volcanoes on Venus and Mars are known to be active, though.
Do volcanoes actually sleep?
It is incorrect to attribute human qualities to a geological phenomena. There are long periods when volcanoes are not as active as at other times. This has nothing to do with sleep - it is a personification.
Where are most active volcanoes?
I'm not sure if this is correct, but near divergent plate boundaries
