  • The earths crust is made up of huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle these plates sometimes move which Causes friction and the friction causes earthquakes and volcanic Eruptions. the theory that explains this process is called techonics.

Do tornadoes begin as areas of low pressure?

No, tornadoes do not form from areas of low pressure. Tornadoes form from rotating thunderstorms called supercells, which are unique in their structure and must have specific atmospheric conditions to produce a tornado.


Will low oil pressure cause vehicle not to start?

Low oil pressure in itself will not cause the motor not start. Low oil pressure is a cause for concern as far as motor lubrication. Low oil pressure can cause lubrication failure and be harmful to all moving parts.


Do tornadoes form when there is low pressure?

Tornadoes are themselves small low pressure areas, and generally form with low pressure systems. Most low pressure systems, however, do not produce tornadoes.

Does the lava that forms shield volcanoes probably have a lot of silica or water in it?

No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.


How can low pressure cause a storm to grow?

Since a Low Pressure System allows clouds to form, another thing that I know is that the lower the Air Pressuregoes, the more severe the storm may become.


Why do shield volcanoes erupt frequently but rarely cause human disasters?

Shield volcanoes erupt lava with a low silica content. There are less dissolved gases and a lower viscocity fluid, so less gas is produced and it takes less pressure to erupt.


Do clouds form easily when the air pressure is high or low?

Clouds are more likely to form when the air pressure is low. Low air pressure is associated with rising air, which cools and condenses to form clouds. High air pressure is typically associated with sinking air, which inhibits cloud formation.
