What was the plate boundary that caused Vesuvius to erupt?
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD was caused by the subduction of the African Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate. This collision led to the formation of magma chambers beneath the Earth's surface, eventually resulting in the catastrophic eruption that buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
What were the two tectonic plates that caused the Eyjafjallajokull volcano to erupt?
The Eyjafjallajokull volcano is located in Iceland and sits on the boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The movement of these two plates causes volcanic activity in the region, leading to eruptions like the one in Eyjafjallajokull in 2010.
Name three natural disasters caused by tectonic plates?
the three types of disasters tectonic plate movements cause are; Conservative- when the plates slid past each other and cause an earthquake. destructive- when two plates bash into each-other and cause either and earthquake or and volcano to erupt. constructive- when two plates move away from each other and construct new crust. well, hope you liked my answer, and by the way, kids are smart cause I'm only 12 !!
Can your give me a sentence using the words tectonic plates?
The tectonic plates slide together, causing an earthquake to erupt across the southern part of the state.
Why did mount surtsey erupt?
Because the pressure within the magma chamber reached critical point and there for it had to be released. But when the pressure was released it brought seering hot magma and rock from withing thew surface
What plates caused Novarupta to erupt?
The Pacific and North American Plates were involved in the Novarupta eruption.
What caused Eyjafjallajökull to erupted?

it was simply just tectonic plates that pushed the lava through.
What caused mtadams to erupt?
What caused mt.adams to erupt?
What caused the volcanic eruption to erupt?
There are plates that are always shifting around in the ground. They move 1cm every day. When the plates collide,they make a big BOOM which cause the things in the volcano to heat up. Then the heat pushes everything to the opening in the volcano which causes it to erupt and shoot out.
How does tsunami erupt?
well there are tectonic plates at the end of the sea and then one of those tectonic plates go up and a tsunami will erupt?
What happens when vibrations caused by the plates of earths crust colliding with each other?
Well it would cause an earthquake and sometimes a volcano to erupt
How do plate tectonics make a volcano erupt?
When two plates collide one pushes the other one down. Then the magma goes through the gaps between the plates and then the volcano erupts. Volcanoes can also erupt by the plates spreading apart.
How did the tsunami erupt in japan?
Tsumanis do not erupt; volcanoes erupt. Tsunamis are waves caused by friction between two plates underneath the ocean. When two plates try to move past each other, most of the time there is no issue. Sometimes, though, the plates will get stuck until there is finally enough pressure to push past the obstruction. This built-up pressure is released into the surrounding ocean and leads to tsunamis. Japan sits at the border between four different plates and as a result, experiences many tsunamis.
How did vesuvius erupt?
The natives of Pompeii and Herculaneum thought that the Roman gods were showing their anger at the people and that their world was ending. The scientific explanation is that two plates directly under Vesuvius collided, creating an earthquake inside the volcano, which caused it to erupt.
Where is the Eyjafjallajkull volcano located?
It is located in Iceland.
