Why do volcanoes cluster along narrow mountainous belts?
Volcanoes cluster along narrow mountainous belts because these areas are typically associated with tectonic plate boundaries where the movement of plates generates intense heat and pressure underground. This can lead to the melting of rock and the formation of magma chambers, resulting in volcanic activity. The narrowness of the belts allows for the magma to more easily reach the surface, leading to the creation of volcanoes in these concentrated areas.
Types of volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes:Large base areaGentle slopeContains basic lavaFrequent eruptionsQuiet and gentle eruptionsVery tall in height due to large base areaComposite Volcanoes:Relatively small base areaConcave slopeContains acidic lavaViolent eruptionsRepeated eruptionsErupts from the side conesUsually not very tall in height due to gentle slopesAcid-lava VolcanoesSmall base areaSteep slopeContains acidic lavaViolent eruptionsCreates crater lakes (caldera) after eruptionsTall in height due to steep slopesCinder ConesSmall base areaSteep slopesSymmetrical slopesModerate eruptionsNot tall in height as slopes are easily eroded
What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
What are the similarities and differences between the types of volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes have fluid basaltic flows that are lower in silicates, making the lava very fluid without a tendency to form pyroclastics. Composite Cone volcanoes contain the highest percentage of silica content making the magma thicker with the greatest tendency to form pyroclastics and are the most dangerous volcanoes.
What type of volcano is Hawaii?
Hawaii has shield volcanoes, which are broad, gently sloping volcanoes characterized by eruptions of relatively fluid lava that creates a wide base. These volcanoes are formed by repeated eruptions of low viscosity basaltic magma.
Why do earthquakes occur in narrow belts?
Volcanoes occur in long, narrow belts because that's were the pate boundaries are.
Can a cone-shaped mountain form?
Cinder-cone volcanoes are built by thick lava that is thrown high into the air and falls as chunks or cinders. These mountains form as a cone shape with narrow base and steep sides.
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Is base band and narrow band are same?
They are the same.
Why do cinder volcanos have narrow bases and steeper sides than shields volcanos do?
shield volcanoes have cinders that come out then land on it. that's what makes them bigger than cinder cone volcanoes.
How do people who live at the base of volcanoes survive?
they dont, they burn to death :)
What is a small volcanic mountain wih a narrow base and steep sides?
A volcanic mountain with a narrow base and steep sides is typically called a volcanic cone or a cinder cone. These cones are formed from explosive eruptions that eject mostly tephra and volcanic ash, resulting in their characteristic steep shape.
Why do volcanoes tend to cluster along narrow mountainous belts?
They tend to cluster around mountainous belts because of where they are on the plate boundaries abigail matthews

How are the mountains that are formed by subduction diffrent from mountains formed by continental crusts converging?
Subducting crust produces volcanoes and a narrow range of mountains (like the Andes). Continental convergence does not produce volcanoes and produces a wider range of mountains (Rockies or Himalayas).
