What else can I help you with?
Where do most volcanos occur on earth surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
What boundary is it when a volcano formed?
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
What is the relationship between convergent and divergent boundaries and hot spots?
Convergent and divergent boundaries are tectonic plate interactions where plates either collide (convergent) or move apart (divergent), leading to geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity. Hot spots, on the other hand, are volcanic regions thought to be fed by underlying mantle plumes, independent of tectonic plate boundaries. While hot spots can occur near or within tectonic plate boundaries, their activity is not directly caused by the movement of those plates, but rather by localized melting in the mantle. Thus, hot spots can create volcanic islands within tectonic settings shaped by convergent and divergent processes.
Identify three tectonic settings where volcanoes commonly occur?
Subduction zones: Volcanoes often occur where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another, leading to the melting of rock and the formation of magma. Mid-ocean ridges: Volcanoes form along underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise to the surface. Hotspot volcanoes: These are areas where a plume of hot magma rises from deep within the mantle, creating volcanic activity away from plate boundaries, such as the Hawaiian Islands.
What plate boundary is the shield volcano on?
AnswerShield volcanoes are found along divergent plate boundaries where two plates pull apart and lava flows into the gap to form a volcano.Shield volcanoes are also formed at hot spots. A hot spot is an area of persistent volcanic activity. Hot spots originate at unusually hot areas of the mantle-core boundary. Overlying mantle melts forming plumes of magma that rise and penetrate the crust forming volcanoes. Hawaii, Iceland, and Yellowstone are examples of hot spots. The trace of a hot spot appears as a chain, such as an island chain. As the overlying plate moves one volcano off the hot spot, another is formed. The Hawaiian Island Chain is an example.
Are hot spots near plate boundaries?
No, Hot Spots can be in the center of plates. An example of a Hot Spot is the Hawaiian Islands.
Volcanoes that form far from plate boundaries form as the result as?
Hot spots!
What plate boundaries or hot spots is the cause of Mt Vesuvius?
suck it nerds
Volcanoes most often occur at plate boundaries and?
At interpolate hot spots
What causes different kinds of volcanic mountains?
it can be caused by many things, such as hot spots, convergent plate boundaries, and divergent plate boundaries
What is a fault of a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What type of fault is a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Are geological hot spots collisional?
Geological hot spots are not typically collisional. Hot spots are areas where magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle to the surface, creating volcanic activity. Collisional plate boundaries, on the other hand, occur when tectonic plates converge and collide, leading to mountain formation and earthquakes.
What volcanoes are located are located along plate boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
Is a hot spot found at converging oceanic plates?
Hot spots are usually found away from plate boundaries.
Where do most volcanos occur on earth surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
What boundary is it when a volcano formed?
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
