Why Are Volcannoes Found Where They Are?

majority of valcanoes follow the edges of the tectonic plates, which are the weaker parts of earths crust, therefore volcanoes form durin the crust giving away to the pressure built up. other volcaoes form other places due to weak parts of earths crust


What forms valcanoes?

most volcanoes are formed from a hot spot in the earths crust.


How do volcanoes takes place?

Volcanoes are essentially holes in the earths surface through which magma and lava can erupt. when pressure builds up below the earths crust, magma is then forced violently out of the volcanoes.


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


What is a thin place on Earths crust called where a volcanoes can form?

A thin place on Earth's crust where a volcano can form is called a "hotspot." This is a location where magma from the mantle rises to the surface, often creating volcanic activity. As the magma erupts through the Earth's crust, it can result in the formation of volcanic features like volcanoes, lava flows, and volcanic islands.


What are large chunks of earths crust called?

Large chunks of Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and are responsible for movements like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
