Are inactive volcanoes especially prone to erosion?
Inactive volcanoes are especially prone to erosion in areas were rainfall is plentiful. This reclamation of the area by local flora can lessen the effect.
How many dormant volcanoes?
We don't know. We can only catalog the volcanoes we know about. There are probably more dormant volcanoes, especially under the ocean, that we haven't found yet.
Why do subduction volcanoes erupt continuously?
They don't. Few, if any volcanoes in the world do. The volcanoes, especially at subduction zones, will often go dormant for years and even centuries without erupting.
What is the most common structure of volcanoes?
The most common structure of volcanoes is a conical shape with a central vent or crater at the summit. This shape is often formed by layers of lava and ash building up over time as the volcano erupts. Volcanoes can also take other shapes such as shield volcanoes or stratovolcanoes, depending on the type of eruption and the composition of the magma.
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
What are the 3 common types of plutons?
Cinder volcanoes, composite volcanoes, frision volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes.

What are some common questions about volcanoes?
Common questions about volcanoes include: How do volcanoes form? What causes volcanic eruptions? What are the different types of volcanoes? How do scientists monitor volcanic activity? Are there warning signs before a volcano erupts?
How does plate tectonics play a role in the formation and eruption and volcanoes?
Volcanoes and volcanic activity occurs at plate boundaries. Especially when one plate over rides another plate - convergent boundary. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
Where in the world are earthquakes more common?
Earthquakes are most common where plates of the crusts collide or separate and especially in the Pacific ring of fire. The pacific ring of fire is a chain of volcanoes and earthquakes along the edges of the Pacific ocean.

Why is Italy common to have volcanoes?
because it is hot
Is the desert a common place to find volcanoes?
It is not uncommon to find volcanoes in some deserts. The Chihuahuan Desert has a number of extinct and dormant volcanoes.
