What else can I help you with?
Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?
transform and divergent
Do plate movements help drive the rock cycle to form volcanoes?
Yes. Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with plate boundaries.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
What is the three plate moments?
There are three different types of plate movements that cause earthquakes. The first is Divergent Boundaries (pulling apart), the second is Covergent Boundaries (coming together) and Transform Boundaries.
Which plate boundary has the least volcanoes?
Transform plate boundaries have the least volcanoes because they do not typically involve magma rising to the surface. Instead, transform boundaries involve horizontal movement of tectonic plates alongside each other.
What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?
What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.
What four types of plate movements can cause earthquakes?
The four types of plate movements that can cause earthquakes are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and subduction zones. These movements can result in the buildup of stress within the Earth's crust, which may eventually be released in the form of an earthquake.
Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?
transform and divergent
What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
What made volcanoes?
Volcano's are made by tectonic plate movements.
Do plate movements help drive the rock cycle to form volcanoes?
Yes. Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with plate boundaries.
Types of plate movements?
Tectonic movement.
How is similar divergent plate boundary and transform plate boundary?
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
What is transform plate movements?
the transform plate movement is when the plates are sliding. this causes earthquakes. imagine one plate then across is another. one moves up and one down sliding.
What is the surface feature produced by crustal movements at a transform plate boundary?
Surface features produced by crustal movements at a transform plate boundary include strike-slip faults and earthquakes. These are caused by the horizontal movement of two tectonic plates sliding past each other. This movement does not typically result in significant volcanic activity or the formation of mountains.
