In short, no. Most volcanoes are located in the ring of fire, which surrounds the Pacific Ocean. Most volcanoes are caused by subduction, which is when one plate is pulled under another. This is usually ocean crust under a continent which then melts and comes back to the surface as magma. Other volcanoes are hot spots caused by weak spots in the Earth's crust, such as the hot spot that created Hawaii.
What else can I help you with?
What are examples of the theory of plate tectonics?
Sea floor spreading
What contribution did hess make to science?
He propounded the Sea-floor Spreading Theory.
What was Robert Dietz contribution to the tectonic theory?
he as the one who crated the sea floor spreading
Describe how magnetism is used to support the theory of seafloor spreading?
New material is added to the sea floor when sea floor spreading occurs. When the iron cools it is magnetized by the magnetic field of the earth.
Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
Who had the sea floor spreading theory?
Harry Hess came up with the theory of seafloor spreading . Alfred Wegener came up with the idea of continental drift NOT sea-floor spreading.
