When two plates collide one pushes the other one down. Then the magma goes through the gaps between the plates and then the volcano erupts. Volcanoes can also erupt by the plates spreading apart.

How do you make vlolcanoe erupt?

You can'tmake a volcano erupt.It happens naturally.What happens is, well, first of all, the planet is separated into plates, and when a plate from way below ground or something like that, it goes under into the magma that is in the center of the Earth. Which forces magma to go upward through "escape routes" (volcanoes).When the magma reaches the surface through the volcano it becomes lava, and it comes out the volcano which is an eruption. So you can't make a volcano erupt.


What plate movement causes volcanoes?

The plate movement that causes volcanoes to erupt is called plate tectonics. Big rocky plates separate, make collisions and slide past each other that creates earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and also creates mountains.
