Does Tibet have volcanoes?
Tibet does not have active volcanoes. The region is located on the Tibetan Plateau, which is formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. While there are volcanic regions in China, they are not found in Tibet.
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.
Why do volcanoes erupt by boundaries the most?
Volcanoes often erupt at boundaries because this is where tectonic plates interact, causing intense heat and pressure to build up beneath the Earth's surface. This leads to the melting of rock and the formation of magma, which can eventually erupt as lava and volcanic ash through the volcano's vent.
How many dormant volcanoes?
We don't know. We can only catalog the volcanoes we know about. There are probably more dormant volcanoes, especially under the ocean, that we haven't found yet.
Why does the ring of fire have the most active volcanoes?
There are more active volcanoes in the ring of fire because the ring of fire has the most moving plates. When plates move they cause volcanic eruptions. Places farther away or not in the ring of fire will not erupt as often or will only erupt once before extinction.
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
Do volcanoes form only on the edges of plates?
Yes
Are tectonic plates boundaries the only locations where volcanoes form?
No. About 10% of volcanoes on Earth form at hot spots away from late boundaries. Additionally, the planets Venus and Mars and Jupiter's moon Io have volcanoes but do not appear to have tectonic plates.
Are volcanoes only found on constructive plate boundaries?
No

Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.

Volcanoes only occur in oceanic crust?
Volcanoes do not only occur in oceanic crust; they can also be found in continental crust. While many volcanic eruptions happen at mid-ocean ridges or subduction zones associated with oceanic plates, continental volcanoes can form due to rifting, hotspots, or tectonic activity in continental regions. For example, the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. features volcanoes formed on continental crust. Thus, both oceanic and continental crust can host volcanic activity.
