Is Eyjafjallajokull on a constructive plate boundry?

Yes. It is believed to have erupted in 2010 twice because of the constructive margin. The plates were pulled apart by convection currents then because of this basalt lava seeps in to form a new crust beneath the sea and existing volcano. Much of the magma was intruded as dolerite dykes (thin sheets of igneous rock.) New lava and dykes then added extra crust at each side of the spreading ridge.


Is a fault constructive or destructive?

A fault can be either constructive or destructive, depending on the type of movement it allows between the rocks. Constructive faults occur when the blocks move away from each other, leading to the creation of new landforms. Destructive faults occur when the rocks move towards each other, resulting in the displacement and destruction of existing formations.


Types of plate boundries?

The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart, creating new crust. Convergent boundaries occur where plates collide and can result in subduction zones or mountain formation. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other horizontally.


Definition of constructive force?

A constructive force is a natural event that builds up the Earth's surface, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and deposition of sediment. These forces contribute to the formation of landforms and shaping of the landscape.

What is convergent boundry?

the boundry formed by the collision of 2 lithosphere plates


Why is a divergent boundry also called a constructive boundary?

A divergent boundary is referred to as a constructive boundary because it involves the creation of new crust as tectonic plates move away from each other. This process leads to the upwelling of magma and the formation of new oceanic crust through volcanic activity, ultimately contributing to the growth and expansion of the Earth's lithosphere.

Is mount vesuvius on a constructive or destructive plate boundry?

Mount Vesuvius is located on a destructive plate boundary. It is situated on the boundary where the African Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction process is what causes volcanic activity in the area.
