Volcanoes are responsible for new crust creation at the mid-ocean ridges, and submarine volcanoes are responsible for undersea mountains and volcanic island chains. Volcanoes also contribute to continental mountain range formation and large continental lava flows over time have added area to continents.

How do the three main layers of the earth interact?
The Crust floats on top of the Mantle. The heat of the Core and Mantle helps shape Earth's Crust. This is because it acts like a big oven to hold the shape. Like a pottery wheel. The surface of the crust includes Earths land areas as well as the ocean floors. Also The Oute Core and Inner Core help with the gravity feild to help us stay in a rotation on our axsis.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
How do volcanoes change the earth's surface?
Well they can destroy earths surface or it can build more habitats by changing earths land form and make a hole new habitat it can do many things some good some bad it can destroy and it can help earths surface
Who studies earths enviorment and resources?
I need help
How do the poles help cool earths temperature?
how do the earth's poles help cool the earth's temp
What help create volcanoes?
The moving earth plates and the heat (and other stuff) from under the earths crust.
How do volcanoes help people?
because when volcanic eruptions happen it changes the earths landscape and because it forms a new crust

Something thst can be measured in rocks to work out how old they are?
fossils earths crust astoroids any help?
Where do volcanoes mostly come from?
They mostly come from fault lines where two of earths plates are connected. Does that help? :D
How does convection in the earths mantle help shape the geosphere?
It will move the earth's plates so there :)
How does the structure of the earth help explain why earthquakes and volcanoes occur along lines?
well basically because of the sphere shape of the earth the inner layers such as the mantle, inner core outer and crust the volcanoes will always grow in the direction of the sun because they are like plants and need sunlight to keep them alive, there fore all volcanoes will get there sun because of the rotation of the earth. Thank you i hope i helped.
Volcanoes in the ring of fire are supplied with magma rising from what?
The magma for volcanoes comes from the lower crust and the upper mantle. The movement of plate tectonics help create the conditions that melt rock which rises.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
Do volcanoes help the environment?
no volcanoes don't help our environment because it can destroy things and its bad when it irrupts
Was the discovery of Francium delayed because of a lack of technology at the time among other reasons?
Francium was found 80 years after the others because it is very rare on the Earths surface and there is less than an ounce of it in the earths crust. Also the fact that the technology was limited didn't help.
How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?
Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
