Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
A majority of the earths carbon is located in the ocean.
Most volcanoes do form near colliding plate boundaries where subduction occurs, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. However, volcanoes can also form in other geologic settings, such as hotspots and rift zones.
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.
The Oceans
Most.
Lava easily spews out of plate faults making volcanoes.
NO. not at all. most are in the pacific, surrounding the Ring Of Fire
most volcanoes are formed from a hot spot in the earths crust.
Volcanoes are most likely to form at the edges of the tectonic plates.
The Ring of Fire
Asia,Africa,Antartica,South America and Europe
In the "Ring of Fire" on the Pacific Rim (a.k.a. Pacific Ocean)
Volcanoes usually form between tectonic plates in the earth's crust. Hot molten rock beneath the surface gets pushed up as these plates move, and sometimes large rock formations will form. Volcanoes can form in places that arent on the edge of tectonic plates, however, but the Ring of Fire is where most of the earths volcanoes are concentrated, around the Pacific, North American, and South American plates.
yes
The two ways to write the plural form of "volcano" are "volcanoes" and "volcanos". The most common and accepted plural form is "volcanoes".
