Why volcanoes are commonly found of the edges of earths moving plate?
This is where the weaknesses in the earths crust lie and it is the easiest place for lava to spew out of these weaker areas, therefore forming volcanoes
What percentage of volcanoes appear on continental crust?
Approximately 80% of volcanoes are located on continental crust, with the remaining 20% found on oceanic crust. This distribution is due to the presence of subduction zones and hotspots primarily located on continental plates.
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes appear?
Earthquakes and volcanoes primarily appear around tectonic plate boundaries, where the Earth's lithosphere is under stress from the movement of the plates. Earthquakes occur due to the release of this stress along fault lines, while volcanoes form when magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface through weak points in the crust.
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 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
How were volcanoes created in California?
from the earths crust pushing together
What forms valcanoes?
most volcanoes are formed from a hot spot in the earths crust.
How do volcanoes takes place?
Volcanoes are essentially holes in the earths surface through which magma and lava can erupt. when pressure builds up below the earths crust, magma is then forced violently out of the volcanoes.

What is igneas rock?
igneous rocks come from inside the earths crust. Usually through volcanoes, or fissures
Which term best describes the location where magma rises to earths surface and flows out of an opening in the crust?
Volcanoes

Which country is known as country of earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
Convection currents in the earths crust causes volcanos?
No. Earth's crust does not convect. Convection in the mantle, however can create hot spots and rifting, which can lead tot he formation of volcanoes.
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
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
