What else can I help you with?
What is associated with the process of subduction?
Vulcanism and Orogeny
What is the difference between volcanism at a hotspot and volcanism at mid-ocean ridge?
At a hotspot, a plume of hot magma comes up through the mantle, causing vulcanism. At a mid-oceanic ridge, two plates move away from eachother, leaving space that is filled by magma. Hotspots and mid-oceanic ridges can exist together at the same place, Iceland being a prime example of this. However, Hawaii, which is also a hotspot place, is nowhere near plate boundaries, so it's not a place where you would normally expect vulcanism.
What two planets have different surfaces from Earth's surface?
None of the 4 gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have Earth-like solid surfaces on their exteriors, but rather deep, very dense atmospheres.Of the four terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) Mercury is the only one without a substantial atmosphere, or current vulcanism, and has a pitted, cratered surface.
What percentage of all rock outcrops are on the continents?
Almost all. The word-definition answer would be the ratio of land classed as continents to that classed as islands, but geologically, most islands are on their nearest continent anyway. (Look at a map that shows the Continental Shelves). The few exceptions amount to a very tiny fraction of the total area, and these are surface-breaching volcanic sea-mounts rising from mid-ocean ridges and intra-plate vulcanism, like Hawaii and The Canaries.
Explain how minerals started out on earth?
Minerals on Earth first formed from the crystallization of rock from magma. As the Earth has evolved from collisions, vulcanism, plate tectonics, weather, and life processes which altered the atmosphere, the number of minerals present in the Earth has gradually increased to over 4,000 identifiable kinds.
What caused the atmosphere?
vulcanism
What religion doesn't believe in emotion?
Vulcanism.
What is associated with the process of subduction?
Vulcanism and Orogeny
What is the explanation of vulcanism?
There is no such word. Vulcanizing, the process in which rubber is made durable.
The Pacific Ranges were formed by?
Vulcanism - if you are thinking of the same thing as me then they are all mostly extinct volcanoes although some remain active or dormant.
Ano ang teoryang pasipiko sa pilipinas?
(vulcanism teory) ang kapuluan ng pilipinas ay mabuo bunga bulkanismo.
What god does the volcano get its name from?
The world volcano comes from the Roman god Vulcan who was the patron of metals and metal-working. The study of volcanoes is called Vulcanism.
What is the main process that counteracts mountain building and shapes the surface of continents a erosion b vulcanism c subduction d wind e evaporation?
Erosion
Why are earthquakes near volcanoes?
Because the same rifts in the mantle that bring magma to the surface (vulcanism) also cause plate shifts (earthquakes). Such an area is called "seismically active".
Why it is difficult for scientists to predict a volcanic eruption?
Irregularity of the plates as they move against each other, very limited knowledge of lava flow, and a lack of understanding about how exactly Vulcanism occurs.
What Roman god are volcanoes named after?
Volcanism (vulcanism) is named for the Roman god of fire and the hearth, Vulcan. In Greek mythology, he was called Hephaestus.
Did someone design the Grand Canyon?
No. No one designed the Gand Canyon. Natural geological features such as the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Mount Fuji and the Himalayan Mountains are formed by weather, erosion, continental drift, vulcanism and other natural phenomenon.
