How many active volcanoes in the earth?

There are approximately 1,500 active volcanoes on Earth. These volcanoes have erupted at least once in the last 10,000 years.


What was the least deadly volcano?

There are many volcanoes that have not killed anyone and are not likely to ever erupt again. Many active volcanoes are under the ocean and unlikely to cause anyone harm. Therefore there are many volcanoes that are pretty much tied for being the least deadly.


Which plate boundary has the least volcanoes?

Transform plate boundaries have the least volcanoes because they do not typically involve magma rising to the surface. Instead, transform boundaries involve horizontal movement of tectonic plates alongside each other.


What state has the least volcanoes and how many volcanoes?

Many states don't have a single volcano so it's hard to tell which state has the least amount of volcanoes.


How many active volcanos?

1500


What country has the least volcanoes?

Most places in the U.S. have no volcanoes. Aside from the possible exception of the Yellowstone supervolcano there are no volcanoes in the U.S. east of the Rockies. Most of the volcanoes in the continental U.S. are in Washington and Oregon.


What are the names of the volcanoes in Alaska?

Redoubt, Shishaldin and at least 40 others that are active in 2010.

Where would you be least likely to find a volcano?

Ohio...ANS2:Volcanoes are least likely to be found near the center of continental plates and where there are no slip faults or subduction zones. While Ohio has plenty of faults, none are geologic, so one would have to concur that volcanic activity is not likely. For "least likely" take a look at the Himalayan mountain range that is still growing from the collision of the Indian and Asian plates. The thickness of the crust would make a volcano very unlikely.Another answer for you to consider would be that you'll not find a volcano on the edge of a plate that is being subducted...that would typically be on the sea floor side of a subduction zone. The volcanoes will be found on the other side of the zone where the continental plate overrides the subducted plate.It is tough to answer a "Least Likely" question by giving a single location and it will fail to impress if you say "where they never happen". You will need to give an answer and then justify your choice in order to demonstrate your understanding and get full credit.It would be technically correct, and easy to justify, to say that volcanoes are least likely to be found on planets and moons that have solid cores but, you might not get credit for that answer...report back if you try it.


What plates do earthquakes and volcanoes usually occur at?

The edge of the Pacific plate is known as the "Ring of Fire" because it has very high concentrations of earthquakes and volcanoes. However, most plate boundaries are capable of producing earthquakes and volcanoes at least occasionally.


Does Antarctica have volcano?

Yes, at least one: Mt Erebus.


Where is magma not likely to form?

Volcanoes only occur on the boundaries between tectonic plates, and this is the same for earthquakes. this is why there are many volcanoes and earthquakes in Indonesia and the south east Asia region, but very few any where in Europe or Antarctica. So volcanoes don't occur within a tectonic plate.
