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.
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.
What type of magma do you find at each of the different plate boundaries?
At divergent plate boundaries, you typically find basaltic magma. At convergent plate boundaries, where one plate is forced beneath another, you find andesitic to rhyolitic magma due to the melting of continental crust. At hot spots, which are unrelated to plate boundaries, you can find a variety of magma types depending on the composition of the mantle source.
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.
What plate boundaries or hot spots is the cause of Mt Vesuvius?
suck it nerds
Volcanoes that form far from plate boundaries form as the result as?
Hot spots!
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.
What volcanoes are located are located along plate boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located 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.
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.
