Where is Andesite found?
Andesite is a moderate weight volcanic rock, first described from the Andes. It is the volcanic (extrusive) equivalent in composition to diorite of the plutonic rocks. It will be found in granite areas.
Where do you find andesite?
Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock of intermediate composition. This is a volcanic rock that can be found in areas with volcanoes such as, Slovakia.
Where are obsidian rock found?
Obsidian rocks are found on the west coast near the pacific ocean by volcanoes because it is cooled lava called volcanic glass
Why are diamonds found in certain areas of the world?
Diamonds are formed deep below the earth's crust, and come to us once the volcanic eruption forces the material to the surface. The vertical geology takes the form of a pipe -- a volcanic pipe. (Read link, below.) This phenomenon is unusual and uncommon in the world, thus lowering the numbers of places where diamonds can be found.
How do scientists track tectonic plate movement?
It helps to predict earthquakes, to understand the origin of things, to understand and predict volcanic activity, to predict where some mineral deposits may be found, to understand prehistoric life; the list goes on...
Where are geyser found?
Geysers are found in volcanic areas.
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
Which of these hazards out of earthquakes volcanoes mountains trenches and mudslides are at convergent boundaries?
earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, and avalanches.
Where is tuff rock found?

Where is Andesite found?

Where is a neon found?

Why are people always residing on the volcanic or earthquake areas?
people live there because these place have fertile soilwhich is suitable for agriculture and farming. Here,soil is rich in minerals ,which is essen tial for a plant' growth. Not only that , volcanic areas have mineral, which are not found in any other place. Earthquake prone areas do have qualities ,similar to the soil of volcanic areas.
Where are some of Earth's youngest rocks found?
Areas of recent volcanic eruptions such as the circum pacific regions.

Which country is known as country of earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
What areas are prone to tsunamis?
tsunamis such as the one that hit Thailand are prone to these areas because these countries lie on plate boundries. Converging and diverging plates cause earthquakes along the plates. When an earthquake happens it's just a normal earthquake (ground shaking..etc) but when an earthquake happens in the ocean it breaks the sea bed(floor) this makes water diverge away from where the earthquake hit. This causes large waves that get higher and faster as they get close to land. Countries in the ring of fire are prone to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. Hope i helped :)
