Why volcanoes are commonly found of the edges of earths moving plate?

This is where the weaknesses in the earths crust lie and it is the easiest place for lava to spew out of these weaker areas, therefore forming volcanoes


Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?

all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.


Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?

Most volcanoes on land are caused by the Earth's plates moving toward each other, a process known as convergent plate boundary. When two plates converge, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanoes along the subduction zone.


What are volcanoes and what causes them?

a volcano is a rupture or opening in the earths crust. caused by convergent (coming together) or divergent (moving apart) plates

What help create volcanoes?

Volcanoes are created by the movement of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface. When two tectonic plates collide or move apart, magma from the mantle rises to the surface, eventually erupting through a volcano. Additionally, hotspots, subduction zones, and rift zones can also contribute to the formation of volcanoes.


Were oceans caused by the moving of the earths surface?

no

Why do you think that people have used folktales to explain volcanoes?

In times a while back, people didn't know that volcanoes were caused by the Earth's crust and mantle moving in . So they told stories that they could understand, and passed them on as why and what the volcanoes were. i hope i helped :) <3
