What makes a volcano and how?
Volcanoes are formed at plate boundaries. The Earth's crust is split into plates. The most common plate boundary for volcanoes to occur at is a subduction zone at a destructive plate boundary. This is where 2 plate crash head on into each other. If one is heavier than the other (oceanic plates (sea) are heavier than continental plates (land)), which is the case at a subduction zone, then the heavier oceanic plate subducts (goes under) the less dense continental plate. As the oceanic plate sinks, it heats up under pressure, and melts to form magma, which is lava that hasn't erupted yet. The pressure builds up and finally it erupts through a crack in the Earth's crust forming a volcano. When the lava from the explosion run down the sides of the volcano it solidifies, thus building the volcano up.
How does crash gets his nickname?
Crash Bandicoot gets his nickname "Crash" from his tendency to crash through obstacles and enemies in his adventures. His reckless and adventurous nature often leads him to charging headfirst into situations, earning him the name "Crash."
How did Mount Pinatubo erupt?
Mount Pinatubo is a product of a subduction zone. Here a portion of the Pacific Plate is sliding under the Philippine Plate. Seawater is carried into the mantle where it alters them chemistry of the hot rocks, allowing some to melt. This magma then rises to the surface form volcanoes. Because of Mount Pinatubo is near the ring of fire, so the volcano is very dangerous and powerful.
What determines the strength of a volcanic eruption?
The explosiveness of a volcano is determined by two factors. The obstacles in the magma's path and the type of volcano. When there is chunks of rock and hardened magma in the vent the liquid magma builds up until it sprays out at hufe ferocity. If there is little or no debris then the magma simply spews out. As for the type of volcano when the tectonic plates move apart it forms a row of GENTLE volcanoes but when they crash together the volcanoes are much more explosive.
What will happen if two plates crashed into each other?
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen: 1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake. 2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano. ~Doraexplorer
What was the worst problem with the Iceland eruption in 2010?

Why did the people crash with planes on 911?
Because bad people were driving the planes and made the planes crash on purpose.
What type of planes crash the most?

What are the release dates for Crash Science - 2005 Planes?

What are some resons planes crash?
some ways planes crash is a storm,failing engine,a passed out pilot, and to much cargo
Did hijacked planes crash the twin towers?
the reason why is because the planes were hijacked.
Can planes take off and land at same time?
No because the air around the plane has pressure. If two planes take off at the same time the planes will crash. The planes might crash if they land at the same time.
Why isn't aluminium used on car if it's used on planes?
this is because it is verry weak in a crash situation, and planes are not intended to crash at all,
The intersection of two planes could be a?
crash
How often do planes crash?
Chances of being in a plane crash are 1 in 11 million
What percentage of planes crash?
Only about 0.000001% of planes ever crash. Generally, the drive down to the airport is much more dangerous than flying a plane.
How many planes crash the twin towers?
2 planes. 1 each tower.
