How many active volcanoes are in the country of Indonesia?
Indonesia has around 130 active volcanoes, which is the highest number of active volcanoes in any country in the world. This is due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plate boundaries result in frequent volcanic activity.
What is volcanisim?
== == Volcanism is part of the process of bringing material from the deep interior of a planet and spilling it forth on the surface. Eruptions also eject new molecules into the atmosphere. Volcanism is part of the process by which a planet cools off. Even though they are not volcanoes, geysers and hot springs are also part of the volcanic process, involving water and hydrothermal activity. Some planetary bodies, like Jupiter's moon Europa, exhibit icy volcanism, which is another form of volcanism involving water. There are several ways in which a volcano forms, just as there are several different kinds of volcanoes. On Earth, the most general cause of volcanism is caused by subduction of the Earth's crust. There are quite a few other planets which have volcanoes on the surface, including Venus, Mars, and Jupiter's moon Io. Other planets exhibit the results of volcanic activity. These include Mercury, the Earth's Moon, Jupiter's moon Europa, and perhaps Neptune's moon Triton.
Is volcanism found at convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates?
Yes, volcanism is found at both convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates. At convergent boundaries, subduction zones can result in the formation of volcanoes due to the melting of subducted crust. At divergent boundaries, magma rises to the surface to create new crust, leading to volcanic activity as seen in mid-ocean ridges.
Are hot springs on an active volcano?
No, not necessarily. While hot springs can be associated with volcanoes, many simply result from the deep penetration of groundwater. Deep in the earth's crust it is very hot even if there are no volcanoes nearby.
What types of rocks are near active volcanoes and why?
When lava cools, it forms what is known as an extrusive igneous rock. Volcanoes are also associated with alteration from heat and fluids. Therefore you would expect to find extrusive rocks as well as altered rocks.
What volcano in Hawaii is a shield volcano?
All of the active and inactive volcanoes that are part of the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount chain are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are the result of Hot Spot volcanism which is the type of volcanic force that created the Hawaiian islands.

Indonesia has around 130 active volcanoes, which is the highest number of active volcanoes in any country in the world. This is due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plate boundaries result in frequent volcanic activity.
What is Convergent Volcanism?
Convergent volcanoes are found on or near convergent boundaries. They are caused as a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
How do you presence of active volcanoes and mountain range?
Active volcanoes can often indicate the presence of a mountain range due to the geologic processes that create both features. Volcanoes are formed where tectonic plates meet and the mountain ranges can be the result of these same tectonic forces pushing the Earth's crust upward. The presence of active volcanoes in a mountain range suggests ongoing tectonic activity in the area.

What processs occurs when molten rock moves from a planets interior to its surface?
This process can be divided into at least two actions: Volcanism, which will usually result in volcanoes, calderas, and other similar structures, and Tectonics, which is the process that drives the slow shifting of large land masses around a planet. Planets that have these events currently taking place on and within them are considered to be geologically active. As of yet, the Earth is the only planet known to definitively have or to ever have had tectonic processes as a significant role in its evolution. However several other bodies in the solar system are known to have experienced volcanism or some equivalent in their histories. Venus and Mars have volcanoes on their surfaces and many on Venus may still be active. Jupiter's moon Io has several active sulphur volcanoes, water ice has been photographed spewing out of Saturn's moon Enceladus, and Triton, a moon of Neptune, contains geysers or cryovolcanos that erupt liquid nitrogen.

What processes make mountains grow?
They are the result of tectonic forces or volcanism.

Which of Jupiter's moons is volcanically active?
Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is known to be volcanically active. It has more than 400 active volcanoes, making it the most geologically active body in our solar system. The volcanic activity on Io is a result of tidal heating caused by its interactions with Jupiter and its neighboring moons.
Where does spreading center volcanism occur?
Spreading center volcanism occurs along mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are moving apart. The process involves the upwelling of hot magma from the mantle, which creates new oceanic crust as it solidifies upon cooling. This type of volcanism is an important mechanism for plate tectonics and plays a key role in shaping the Earth's lithosphere.
