all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.

What are volcanoes and what causes them?

a volcano is a rupture or opening in the earths crust. caused by convergent (coming together) or divergent (moving apart) plates

What are deep ocean trenches caused by?

Plate tectonics, the moving and repositioning of earths plates.


Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?

Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.


How do Haiti earthquakes happen?

they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving


What are several minor causes of earthquake?

Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate movements under the crust of the earth. The earth is made up of many 'plates' which move around due to the earths core moving and these plates shift slightly, when the plates rub against each other that is how earthquakes / volcanoes / mountains are caused. well done on your grammar :)


What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?

When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.


What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in common?

They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.

Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?

Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
