What types of volcanoes are formed at spreading centers?
Volcanoes at spreading centers is referred to as spreading center volcanism. This usually takes place on mid-oceanic ridges where the plates diverge.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are typically found along tectonic plate boundaries where the Earth's lithosphere is in motion. This includes areas like the Pacific Ring of Fire, where the Pacific Plate collides with other plates, and along mid-ocean ridges where plates are spreading apart.
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.
What causes volcanoes to form at spreading plate boundaries?
As two plates spread apart from each other at the boundary, magma that was trapped below wells up between them. This magma can be released in the form of volcanoes or ooze out from rift valleys.
Can volcanoes form along spreading plate boundaries on land?
No, volcanoes do not typically form along spreading plate boundaries on land. Volcanic activity at spreading plate boundaries is more commonly associated with mid-ocean ridges where two tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise to the surface and form new oceanic crust. Land-based volcanoes are more often found at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is subducting beneath another.
Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?
no

What happens in sea floor spreading?
under water volcanoes move the oceanic plates and spread them
Why are there different shapes of volcanoes?
Because of how the plates compress.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are typically found along tectonic plate boundaries where the Earth's lithosphere is in motion. This includes areas like the Pacific Ring of Fire, where the Pacific Plate collides with other plates, and along mid-ocean ridges where plates are spreading apart.
What causes volcanoes to form at spreading boundaries?
Please make the question clearer. There are converging and diverging boundaries but not spreading boundaries. Plates move but don't spread. Please make the question clearer
What is a subducting convergence boundary?
When plates are different densitys and collide to make volcanoes.
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes
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.
Why do some areas have no volcanoes?
becuase volcanoes have plates under them.the places that dont have plates under them don't have volcanoes
What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
Why are Earth's volcanoes different from those on most other planets?
Every planet has a different terrain and a different set of tectonic plates.
