No, the Earth's mantle is to deep and warm for this. Magmas are generated in the upper mantle by a process called partial melting and the melt collects in the crust (in magma chambers at varying depth).

Does the weather cause a volcano to erupt?

No because weather has no affect on the earth mantle and the mantle is the source of magma for the volcano.


How do mauna loa forms?

well volcanoes form like mountains and the earths plates come up against each other and form a mountain and then to form a volcano, magma makes its way out of the core and mantle and out of the crust into the volcano and it finds a weak spot and pushes its way out does that answer it?


How can one mantle plume form several volcanic islands?

Mantle plumes appear to remain nearly stationary. However, the lithospheric plate above a mantle plume continues to drift slowly. So, the volcano on the surface is eventually carried away from the mantle plume. The activity of the volcano stops because it has moved away from the hot spot that supplied it with magma. A new volcano forms, however, at the point on the plate's surface that is now over the mantle plume. Some mantle plumes are long and linear. As magma generated by these plumes rises through cracks in Earth's crust, a line of hotspot volcanoes forms. Unlike volcanoes that form individually as a plate moves over a mantle plume, hot-spot volcanoes that form in lines over a long plume do not have any particular age relationship to each another.Mantle plumes appear to remain nearly stationary.

What are three basic parts of volcano?

the lava, the mantle, the outside. so there you are you have the three basic parts to a volcano.


Where do hotspot volcanoes form?

Hotspot volcanoes form above mantle plumes, which are localized areas of intense heat and volcanic activity within the Earth's mantle. These mantle plumes create hotspots where magma rises to the surface, forming volcanoes. One well-known example is the Hawaiian Islands, which were formed by the movement of the Pacific Plate over a hotspot.

Does a volcano form when magma reaches earths surface?

That is correct. When magma travels from the mantle to the crust and reaches the surface, that is a volcano.


Why volcanos form?

Volcanoes form because when the magma flows up through cracks inside of the earth's mantle then the volcano is formed.

No because weather has no affect on the earth mantle and the mantle is the source of magma for the volcano.


What is the mantle rock from the mantle that rises up the vent and flows out of a volcano?

Plastic


Why does a volcano form at the boundary of two plates moving apart?

A volcano will form at the boundary of two plates moving apart. This is because the two plates moving apart create a crack allowing molten lava to flow up from the mantle.

How did volcano Colima form?

When techtonic plates collide and go apart magma from the mantle come up to the crust. Then after a long time of that happening the lava cools and forms new ground which builds up into a volcano. A volcano could be on land or under water.


What may form in an intraplate area over a rising plume of hot mantle material?

A volcano. See the excellent book "Krakatoa" by Simon Winchester.
