What else can I help you with?
Where do volcanoes that are far from the margins of the tectonic plates appear?
These volcanoes are believed to be above local 'hot spots' on the surface. Hawaii would be the prime example. Most volcanoes occur above the subduction zones at a merging plate boundary. But volcanoes also appear directly at the expanding junction of a pair of plates. Iceland, and some of the South Atlantic islands are examples of this.
What are volcanoes that do not rise above sea level?
Volcanoes that are underwater, known as submarine volcanoes. The deepest one is the Submarine 1922 in the Celebes Sea near the Sanghie Islands of Indonesia, and it is 16,000 feet (5,000 meters) below sea level.
Oceans are found on which layer on earth?
Oceans are primarily found on the Earth's surface, which is part of the outermost layer known as the lithosphere. Beneath the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere, but the oceans themselves rest directly on the lithosphere. The water in the oceans also interacts with the atmosphere above and the hydrosphere, which encompasses all water on Earth.
Which of the above of boundaries can produce volcanoes?
convergent
How many active volcanoes are above water?
There are approximately 1,500 active volcanoes above water around the world. This includes volcanoes on continental landmasses as well as islands. These volcanoes have the potential to erupt and impact surrounding areas.
Approximately how much of earth's surface is above sea level?
About 29% of Earth's surface is above sea level, with the remaining 71% covered by oceans.
What are islands arc volcanoes?
Island arc volcanoes are islands that form in chains underwater and emerge above the surface for form a series of islands.
How much of Earth's surface is above sea level?
Approximately 29% of Earth's surface is above sea level, while the remaining 71% is covered by oceans.
What is likely to occur on the earth's surface where it lies above the edges of crustal plates?
volcanoes,earthquakes,mountains
Is there a place where it is always above 100 degrees Celsius?
Yes. Surface of the sun. Volcanoes and volcanic vents.
What is the antonym for groundwater?
The antonym for groundwater is surface water, which refers to water that is above ground in rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans.
Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones?
Volcanoes form above subduction zones because as one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, the subducted plate melts due to the high pressure and heat. This molten rock then rises to the surface, creating magma chambers that eventually erupt as volcanoes.

What is volcano islands?
Volcano Islands are the remains of dormant or still active volcanoes that have formed islands of land above the surface of the sea.
How are underwater volcanoes different from volcanoes that are above sea level?
jks
Are there volcanoes oceans earthquakes on mercury?
None of the above. By all evidence obtained so far, satellite mappings, etc, Mercury as an "active" planet closed up shop long ago.
What do the continents and the ocean have in common?
Continents and oceans are both part of Earth's surface. They are interconnected and together make up the Earth's lithosphere. Continents are large land masses above sea level, while oceans are vast bodies of saltwater that cover a majority of the Earth's surface.
