What else can I help you with?
Volcanism is more likely on a planet that?
Has high Internal Temperatures.
Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
What does convergent mean in science?
"coming together"
What kind of features can convergent evolution lead to?
help?
How do wings of penguins and puffins demonstrate convergent evolution?
No. Both are birds and their wings are a derived trait common to all birds. The wings of penguins and bats display convergent evolution.
Is volcanism found at convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates?
Yes, volcanism is found at both convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates. At convergent boundaries, subduction zones can result in the formation of volcanoes due to the melting of subducted crust. At divergent boundaries, magma rises to the surface to create new crust, leading to volcanic activity as seen in mid-ocean ridges.
The Ring of Fire is a long belt of volcanoes that nearly circles the Pacific Ocean What process formed these volcanoes?
Convergent plate volcanism
What is and example of a convergent plate?
The convergence of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate in the northwestern United States is an example. In this case, it has resulted in mountain building and volcanism.
Was Mount Tambora formed by a convergent plate boundary or a divergent plate boundary?
Mount Tambora was formed by a convergent plate boundary. It is located on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa, where the Australian Plate converges with the Sunda Plate, causing subduction and volcanic activity in the region.
What type of landforms or activity can be found at a convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary, landforms such as mountains, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs can be found. Tectonic activity includes the subduction of one plate under another, leading to the formation of these features. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are also common at convergent boundaries.
How volcanism causes earthquake?
volcanism can not cause earthquakes
Does the mantle contain volcanism?
No. Volcanism occurs at the surface on the crust. However, the magma that drives volcanism ultimately comes from the mantle.
What plate boundary is mt rainier on?
Mount Rainier, Washington, isn't located on a divergent plate boundary but a convergent one. The Juan de Fuca Plate off the coast is pushing under the northern US and Canada, creating volcanism (such as Mt St Helens).
Volcanism is common at convergent and divergent boundaries of?
tectonic plates, where magma from the mantle rises to the surface. At convergent boundaries, one plate sinks beneath the other, creating intense heat and pressure that can lead to volcanic activity. At divergent boundaries, plates move apart, allowing magma to well up and form new crust.
What type of volcanism occurs underwater along the mid-oceanic ridge?
Rift volcanism.
At which type of plate boundary does rift-volcanism occur?
Rift volcanism occurs at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other, causing magma to rise to the surface and create new crust as it cools and solidifies. This process is often associated with the formation of mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.
The hawaiian isand and Yellowstone national park are associted with which of the three zones of volcanism?
hot spot volcanism
