What else can I help you with?
What kind of landforms are made by volcanoes?
It when plates colliding and making the volcanos also when the earths crust is open and the mantle or lava comes out,
What are large chunks of earths crust called?
Large chunks of Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and are responsible for movements like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
What is compression in plate tectonics?
it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Which of these is formed when plates of earths crust bend and crack?
a fault
Where do volcanoes most commonly happen?
cracks in the plates which make up the crust. the earths crust is not connected. its made up of plates that moves and they are formed by plates pushing together then collapsing. they erupt when it gets a lot of friction from the plates pushing together
What are volcanoes and what causes them?
a volcano is a rupture or opening in the earths crust. caused by convergent (coming together) or divergent (moving apart) plates
What kind of landforms are made by volcanoes?
It when plates colliding and making the volcanos also when the earths crust is open and the mantle or lava comes out,
Which country is known as country of earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
What are large chunks of earths crust called?
Large chunks of Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and are responsible for movements like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
How many plates are on the earths crust?
46
Plates are large sections of Earths what?
The crust
What is plate tectonic plates?
its the earths crust
What are the sections of earth's are the plates in?
earths crust
What is compression in plate tectonics?
it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
Why Are Volcannoes Found Where They Are?
majority of valcanoes follow the edges of the tectonic plates, which are the weaker parts of earths crust, therefore volcanoes form durin the crust giving away to the pressure built up. other volcaoes form other places due to weak parts of earths crust
