What geological features are formed by tectonic plates?
Volcanoes, faults, plate boundaries, mountains, oceanic trenches, rift zones, young crust, and continental crust.
Why do volcanoes occur on the fault lines?
Volcanoes often occur on fault lines because these are areas where tectonic plates meet and interact. When these plates move against each other, they can create intense heat and pressure that leads to the formation of magma chambers beneath the Earth's surface. This magma can eventually erupt through the fault lines, resulting in volcanic activity.
What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
What are the belts called that most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on?
Earthquakes and volcanoes often occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates. These boundaries are known as plate boundaries or fault lines. The most active areas for earthquakes and volcanoes are the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where new oceanic crust is formed.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
No, Earth's active volcanoes are not scattered randomly. Most active volcanoes are concentrated along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where volcanic activity is caused by the movement and interaction of these plates. These areas include the Pacific Ring of Fire and mid-ocean ridges.
Are volcanoes scattered randomly or concentrated in zones?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
What are the volcano prone areas of the world?
There are many areas around the world where volcanoes reside. Most volcanoes are near plate boundaries (see "what are tectonic plates?") because this is where lava from the mantle is forced upward, to the surface. Volcanoes formed in the middle of plates are formed from "hot spots", regions where hot rock and magma are forced to the surface from deep in the mantle in tube-like formations. As plates slide across these hot spots, lines of volcanoes are formed.

What is formed by perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines formed right angles.

How do you know what the vertex of an angle is?
An angle is formed when two lines meet (or cross). The vertex is the point where the lines meet.An angle is formed when two lines meet (or cross).

Where are do other volcanoes erupt if it doesn't on fault lines?
America
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines

What are the six types of lines in technical drawing?
Thin lines for outlining Thick lines for dimension Thin dotted lines Thin dotted lines Thin long chains for center lines
Angles formed by intersecting lines?
When lines intersect, angle formed between them is Θ or 180-Θ.
