Magma flows out of a weak spot in the Earth's crust due to the build-up of pressure from the molten rock beneath the surface. This pressure can result from the heat and movement of tectonic plates, creating pathways for magma to rise and eventually erupt onto the surface as lava.
A2. A Convergent Boundary is where two Tectonic Plates come together.They are Destructive boundaries, for some of the plates are consumed. The Himalayas are an example where the plates converge, and build a mountain range between them. There still will be some subduction.The Andes of S America are where the pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the S American Plate.
seismic waves created by the constantly moving tectonic plates create and change the landforms. For more info google Tectonic Plates, and that will tell you everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lithospheric plates build up pressure due to the movement of the underlying mantle causing stress to accumulate along transform faults. The build-up of pressure is a result of the friction and resistance between adjacent plates. When this pressure exceeds the strength of the rocks, it causes the plates to suddenly slip past each other, resulting in an earthquake along a transform fault.
Volcanic island arcs form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet. This is because as the two plates collide, one plate is subducted beneath the other, leading to the melting of the mantle and the formation of volcanic activity. Over time, these volcanic eruptions can build up to create a chain of volcanic islands.
, Earthquakes occurs along fault lines, fault lines are where tectonic plates meet. There is a build up of pressure when the plates converge ( move in and hit each other). When the pressure is to great it is released in an earthquake. Hope this helps.
presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide against each other.
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
no
When two continental plates slide past each other, they create transform boundaries. Friction between the plates may cause earthquakes along the boundary. Over time, the movement can result in the build-up of stress that is released suddenly in the form of an earthquake.
Yes we live on them, build our cities on them etc

Mountains form at (convergent and divergent) plate boundaries. Two plates can crash together and bend upward, forming a mountain, or lava can harden into rack and build up volcanoes which are mountains.
the answer to this question is a transform boundary. At a transform boundary plates slide past one another. Because tectonic plates have irregular edges, they grind and jerk as they slide, which produces earthquakes.

Plate movements on Earth's crust create earthquakes and volcanic activity through the process of tectonic activity. When tectonic plates shift and collide, they can create stress and pressure in the Earth's crust. This pressure can build up over time and eventually be released in the form of earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. The movement of plates can also cause magma to rise to the surface, leading to volcanic activity.
