What is a convergent boundary?
is a boundary between two plates that are moving toward each other, or converging.
What is the process of molten material?
Volcanism
Is Illinois on a fault line?
The Hawaiian Islands are a part of the Pacific oceanic plate. Their creation is owed to a hot spot in the mantle below the crust not plate boundary volcanism.
Is the continental a devoid of life?
false!!
Which phenomenon is used to study the inside of the earth?
volcanism
What are the characteristics of divergent-boundary volcanoes and convergent boundary volcanoes?
Earthquakes, Formation Of New Crust and Volcanism
Was Mount Tambora formed by a convergent plate boundary or a divergent plate boundary?
It was formed from the volcanism created by a subducting oceanic plate at a convergent plate boundary.
Which type of plate boundary does rift volcanism occur?
Divergent plate boundaries n_n ;*
Is Yellowstone a intraplate volcanism?
Yes, because it is not a plate boundary...and Wikipedia said it is. Jim
What does an active continental margin have?
they generally have a deep trench.
At which type of plate boundary does rift-volcanism occur?
Volcanoes can be formed on both convergent and divergent boundaries.
What are hotspots?
Hotspots are portions of the Earth's surface that experience significant volcanism thought to be due to mantle plumes. They are normally located at a distance from plate boundaries where the majority of volcanism occurs.An example of a hotspot would be that underlying Hawaii and is responsible for the volcanism there and the creation of the Hawaiian island chain.
What type of landforms or activity can be found at a convergent boundary?
You could find mountains, valleys, faults, subduction zones, trenches, or experience volcanism or earthquakes.
Is Yellowstone located at a divergent plate boundary?
Yellowstone is situated within a tectonic plate, not at a plate boundary! Volcanic activity is thought to be as a result of a mantle plume, much like the volcanism that created the Hawaiian Island chain.
What type of tectonic boundary forms a volcano?
Normally a Divergent boundary because as the plates diverge, lava spews out, but they can also form at a Convergent boundary, or, although less likely, a transform boundary.
Does fermentation occurs in an environment devoid of oxygen?
Fermentation normally occurs in an the absence of oxygen (called anaerobic) but is can occur in its presence
How volcanism causes earthquake?
volcanism can not cause earthquakes
