Most volcanoes are formed in mid ocean ridges. These volcanic edifices are responsible for creating new oceanic crustal material. Mid ocean ridges are very long and laterally persistent, meaning that there are numerous volcanic vents developed over great distances.
Next numerous are arc-related volcanoes formed adjacent to subduction zones. These are some of the most prominent volcanoes on earth, and most form the "ring of fire" bounding the Pacific Ocean.
Volcanoes related to rift zones on land, and to mantle hot spots are less common, but still very prominent. The Hawaiian and Galapagos island chains are examples of the hotspot type. Mount Kilimanjaro is a well known volcano representative of the rift-related type.
Volcanoes usually form as a result of the movement of the molten rock from the mantle and up to the surface of the crust that releases the pent-up gases. Volcanoes form due to the movement of molten rock from the mantle up to the surface of the crust releasing pent-up gases
Plate boundaries are the way volcanos are formed the main reason for this is because 2 plates colide and rise together to form a mountain this also needs to be over a hot spot where magma (lava which is still underground) collects, and when the pressure gets to a certain level the volcanoe erupts, this can be a small vent where smoke and steam are released or it can be a huge eruption where magma is released from the volcanoe along with soot ash and poisonous gases which can cause sometimes more harm to the people than the lava does.
What else can I help you with?
Do most volcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
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.
Do islands form from volcanos?
Some islands are formed by volcanoes, but most are not.
Do plate movements help drive the rock cycle to form volcanoes?
Yes. Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with plate boundaries.
Are volcanoes located in the center plates?
Not usually. Most volcanoes are located near plate boundaries, but some volcanoes at hot spots do form in the middle of plates. A few include the volcanoes of Hawaii, the volcano at Yellowstone, and the Volcanoes of the Canary Islands.
Is It true or false that most volcanoes form near colliding plate boundary's?
true
Active volcanoes are most likely to form at .?
Volcanoes are most likely to form at the edges of the tectonic plates.
What are 2 ways to write the the plural form of volcano?
The two ways to write the plural form of "volcano" are "volcanoes" and "volcanos". The most common and accepted plural form is "volcanoes".
What type of boundary do most volcanoes form on?
Convergent
Do most volcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
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.
Are most volcanoes form on land?
nope, ocean trenches
Where do most of the worlds volcanoes form?
on islands because they form under water the rise up
How was mount Erebus form?
Like most volcanoes, by volcanic eruption.
Do islands form from volcanos?
Some islands are formed by volcanoes, but most are not.
Do plate movements help drive the rock cycle to form volcanoes?
Yes. Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with plate boundaries.
What is the Plural possessive form of the word volcanoes?
The plural possessive form of "volcanoes" is "volcanoes'".
Is there a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Most volcanoes form along the edges of Earth's tectonic plates. Also most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes.
Are most volcanoes formed near colliding plate boundaries?
... Yes that is exactly where they form and the most dangerous volcanoes are formed in this area by wide opening, colliding plates.
