How volcanes distributed?
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.
Where are tilted blocks of rock commonly found?
where two continental plates collide
When oceanic plates come together what land form does this event create?
is found in to mountain
Where can Igenous rocks be found?
Anywhere you find volcanic activities but usally is on plate boundaries where you find subduction of one plate into another. Usually Continent-Oceanic convergence. the oceanic sink below the continent because the continental plates are less denser than the oceanic plate. you can also find igneous rocks on oceanic-oceanic plates where the form island arc.
What is the most common extrusive rock and where is it found?
The most common extrusive igneous rock is basalt, composing the bulk of the oceanic plates.
What types of tectonic plate boundaries are volcanoes generally found?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
What causes earthquakes at the edges of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes are mostly found at the edges of plates because that is the area of which the plates collide in different ways resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.
Do colliding plates cause volcanoes?
i didn't know either, It is definatly either mountains or volcanoes, but it is difficult to dissifer which one. I am doing this for my Yr9 geography project on Boundarys and i still havn't found the answer. sorry.
How are volcanic?
Volcanoes form when tectonic plates move on the surface of the earth. It occurs at transform plate boundaries. Tectonic plates are always moving slowly, but when an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, it creates a Subduction zone known where volcanoes are found.
Where can igneous rocks be commonly found?
Igneous rocks can commonly be found near volcanoes. They are made when lava is cooled and becomes a solid. The oceanic plates are mostly made of igneous rock.
Why are no volcanoes found in certain parts of world?
Volcanoes are only found on the edge of tectonic plates & they can also be found on cracks in the tectonic plates which is un-common
Where in geographic location is oceanic plate found?
Oceanic plates form the 'floors' of the worlds oceans.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earhquakes and volcanoes are typically found near the edges of tectonic plates.
Is runny lava found in continental or oceanic plates?
Ocean
What geological features are formed by tectonic plates?
Volcanoes, faults, plate boundaries, mountains, oceanic trenches, rift zones, young crust, and continental crust.
How volcanes distributed?
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.
Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
