Where are 90 percent of earth's volcanoes located why do we find volcanoes there?
90% of Earth's volcanoes are located in the Ring of Fire, which is a horseshoe-shaped area around the Pacific Ocean. This area is known for its high tectonic activity, where several tectonic plates meet and interact, leading to the formation of many volcanoes and earthquakes. Volcanoes are found there because the movement and interaction of these tectonic plates create conditions that allow molten rock (magma) from within the Earth to rise to the surface.
Do volcanoes only erupt on earth?
No, Astronomers have discovered erupting volcanoes on Venus as well as Earth
What are some volcanoes in Barbados?
Barbados does not have any active volcanoes. The island is not part of the volcanic arc in the Caribbean region and is situated on the Barbados Ridge, which is a limestone-capped geological formation.
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.
Does Volcanos destroy the Earth?
Yes. When the lava from volcanoes hardens, it forms a new layer. This new layer pushes the lowest layer down. This pushed layer melts, and then comes back up through a subduction zone (area where lava can get to the crust). This cycle continues.
What the Features of the earth surface?
well life forms, land-forms such as volcanoes and mountains.
Are volcanoes part of earth's science?
yes yes
What kind of rock is igneous rock that forms on earth's surface?
Basalt is extruded from volcanoes and MOR (mid ocean ridges). It actually forms in the earth's mantle and just solidifies on the earth's surface.
Are volcanoes a part of physical science?
Yes, volcanoes are a part of physical science. The study of volcanoes falls under the branch of Earth science, specifically geology, which is a subfield of physical science. Volcanoes involve the study of processes such as magma movement, volcanic eruptions, and their impact on the environment.
How does volcanologist have any theing to go with science?
Volcanology is the study of volcanoes. Volcanoes are part of the subject known as Earth Science.
What is the surface features of earth?
well life forms, land-forms such as volcanoes and mountains.
What part of Earth has a higher risk of volcanic eruptions?
The Pacific Ring of Fire, where about 68% of Earth's volcanoes are found.
How many volcanoes are there are earth?
there are approx. 1500 active volcanoes on earth
Why are volcanoes called the peepholes of the earth?
In part because much of the lava that comes up through active volcanoes originates in the Earth's magma (well below the Earth's crust) which otherwise wouldn't be directly accessible with our current level of technology.
Why do you have volcanoes?
Well, if volcanoes didn't exist, neither would the earth. Since volcanoes helped build the earth.
Does earth have volcanoes craters rings valleys?
Earth has volcanoes, craters, and valleys but not rings.
Why do people have volcanoes?
They don't the earth makes volcanoes
