mid ocean ridges form along, underwater mountain ranges that sometimes have a rift valley down their center
( 6th grade answer)
Volcanoes are typically found at tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, where plates collide or separate. They can also occur in hot spots like Hawaii. Submarine volcanoes can be found along mid-ocean ridges where underwater tectonic plates spread apart.
Volcanoes form along convergent boundaries known as subduction zones. Convergent boundaries form where oceanic lithosphere descends beneath continental crust. When the two plates collide convergence occurs, while volcanoes form along the zone.
The most earthquakes are mostly occurs on land
Approximately 90% of the world's earthquakes and 75% of active volcanoes occur along the Ring of Fire each year. This region encircles the Pacific Ocean and is known for its seismic and volcanic activity due to tectonic plate boundaries.
Two geological features that can occur at plate boundaries are mountain ranges, formed from the collision of two plates, and deep ocean trenches, formed at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another.
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
Volcanoes at divergent plate boundaries often occur along mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are moving apart. As the plates separate, magma rises to the surface, creating underwater volcanic activity. These volcanic eruptions contribute to the formation of new oceanic crust.
Volcanoes occur in areas where tectonic plates meet, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire which includes countries like Indonesia, Japan, and the west coast of the Americas. They can also be found along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is being formed.
Along the mid oceanic ridges.
Along the tectonic plate boundaries.
Volcanoes do not occur randomly over Earth's surface. They occur along the located mark of plate boundaries.
Along fault lines
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
