What type of volcanoes occur when 2 tectonic plates move apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
Rift Volcanoes.
What volcanoes occur where two tectonic plates move apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
Volcanoes that occur where two tectonic plates move apart are typically found at mid-ocean ridges. Magma rises up through the cracks formed by the moving plates, creating new oceanic crust as it cools and solidifies. These types of volcanoes are known as submarine or underwater volcanoes.
Did the big bang theory create the volcanoes?
No, the Big Bang theory explains the origin of the universe and does not directly relate to the creation of volcanoes. Volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic plates on Earth's surface, which cause magma to rise and erupt through the Earth's crust.
Where do volcanoes form new crust?
Volcanoes form new crust primarily at divergent tectonic plate boundaries, where plates are pulling apart, such as mid-ocean ridges. Here, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, solidifying as it cools to create new oceanic crust. Additionally, volcanoes can also form at convergent boundaries, where one plate subducts beneath another, leading to volcanic arcs that release magma as new crust is formed. In both cases, the volcanic activity contributes to the ongoing cycle of crust formation and recycling.
What parts are youngest on earth's crust?
Directly along active oceanic ridges, such as the mid-oceanic ridge in the Atlantic (which Iceland straddles) and on active volcanoes, such as Hawaii. When lava from volcanoes such as Hawaii and the mostly undersea volcanoes of mid-oceanic ridges cools, it solidifies into brand new rock.

What is volcanoes crust?
The volcanoes crust is what we live on! Its the outer most layer of Rock. :D
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.
Does Montana have volcanoes?
There are no active volcanoes in Montana. You have to go further west to the Cascade Range to find volcanoes. The volcanoes in the Cascades are caused by the subduction of the oceanic crust under the continental crust.

Did volcanoes create humans?
No, volcanoes did not create humans.

Do volcanoes occur in thick or thin earth's crust?
Volcanoes can occur in both thick and thin Earth's crust. Thicker continental crust tends to have more explosive volcanoes, while thinner oceanic crust often results in more effusive volcanic activity. Ultimately, the presence of a volcano is more closely tied to the movement of tectonic plates and the underlying mantle processes than the thickness of the crust alone.
How were volcanoes created in California?
from the earths crust pushing together
