What kind of volcanoes are found along continental margins?

Volcanoes found along continental margins are typically stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided appearance due to alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. They are formed where tectonic plates converge and one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction.


Does kalimantan have volcanoes?

Yes, Kalimantan does have volcanoes. The most well-known volcano in Kalimantan is Mount Meratus, located in the South Kalimantan province. Another notable volcano is Mount Kelam in the East Kalimantan province.


Are there any kind of volcanos?

There are three different types of volcanoes. The types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, dome volcanoes, and also composite volcanoes.


What are two geological activities that are common in areas where tectonic plates meet?

really? I would have thought that was relatively obvious. depending what kind of plate boundary you have; subductive, constructive, destructive or conservative, you see different patterns, but generally earthquakes and or volcanoes. tsunami/ tidal waves tend to follow earthquakes and tell tale geological features may be underwater trenches, mountains, volcanoes though many fault lines are invisible. the himalayas are built on a constructive boundary with the burmese and phillipine plates (something like that, anyway, don't quote) hope that's helpful :s xx


What kind of volcanic activity happens at collision zones?

At collision zones, subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another can lead to explosive volcanic activity due to the melting of the descending plate and the formation of magma. This can result in the eruption of stratovolcanoes and volcanic arcs, as seen in the Andes Mountains and the Ring of Fire. Additionally, the intense pressure and heat generated by the collision can also create volcanic island arcs in oceanic regions.

What is the kind of collision produces the greatest force of impact?

A head-on collision typically produces the greatest force of impact because the kinetic energy of both vehicles is concentrated in the direction of the collision, leading to a more significant transfer of energy. This type of collision is often the most severe and can result in severe damage and injury.


What kind of tectonic plate is mt.erebus?

Mt. Erubus has tectonic plates made up of parts of the lithosphere. These plates grind together or pull apart and this causes volcanoes to erupt.

What are tectonic plates and how do they shape the earth?

They are pieces of land that either are divergent which means that they spread apart from each other, they can also be transform plates which slide on each other and the last kind that mostly shapes the earth are tectonic plates that collide or converge which causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.
