What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
The boundaries between two colliding plates are called .?
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
What kind of landforms are made by volcanoes?
It when plates colliding and making the volcanos also when the earths crust is open and the mantle or lava comes out,
One feature associated with colliding plates?
Earthquakes are a feature associated with colliding plates. When tectonic plates collide, the intense pressure and friction can cause the plates to stick and build up stress. When this stress is released suddenly, it results in seismic energy being released in the form of an earthquake.
What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
Volcanoes are primarily created by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates shift or collide, it can result in magma being forced to the surface through openings in the Earth's crust, creating a volcano. The magma then solidifies to form the various structures of a volcano, such as a cone or caldera.
What do colliding plates cause?
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
What would happen if plates kept on colliding?
earthquakes and volcanoes
Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
Are most volcanoes formed near colliding plate boundaries?
... Yes that is exactly where they form and the most dangerous volcanoes are formed in this area by wide opening, colliding plates.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes
What do subducting plates cause?
volcanoes
What is colliding boundary?
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?
no
The boundaries between two colliding plates are called .?
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
Why are there earthquakes in Pakistan but no volcanoes?
There are two main tectonic settings in which volcanoes occur: at divergent boundaries, where two plates pull apart, and at subduction zones, where two plates collide and one plunges into the mantle. Subduction can only occur if one or both of the colliding plates consist of oceanic crust. In Pakistan two types of plate boundary. The first is a transform boundary, as the plates grind against each other without moving together or apart. The second, in northern Pakistan, is where India is colliding with the rest of Asia. The stress generated along these boundaries is enough to cause earthquakes, but there is no mechanism for creating volcanoes.
