Maybe similar to a mountain, when two plates (plates on earth, such as north american plate and Pacific plate) and creates a mountain, there is a hot spot (?) under that spot and the magma bursts out, that is the volcano.
Volcanoes are formed when molten rock is heated and pushed upward through the crust. The pressure can force pressurized rock and gas up out of the surface, creating an eruption.
There are 3 types of volcanoes and the are active,dormant,and extinct volcanoes.
The most common type occur at the edges of tectonic plates, the crust beneath the oceans and the continents. When one plate is pushed beneath another, it is heated by the hot mantle, a fluid rock layer beneath the crust. The rock is forced upward through cracks to form volcanoes. In some cases, a solid rock chamber beneath a volcano may repeatedly fill with magma, then empty out in an eruption.
The second type occurs on a "hotspot" in the middle of an oceanic plate, where the crust is heated from the mantle below and pushes upward to form a seafloor volcano. This is the process that created the long line of Hawaiian islands in the mid-Pacific, as the crust moved NW over the same hotspot over millions of years.
What else can I help you with?
Will there be a volcano form?
There are always volcanoes forming.
Why do you think God included volcanoes in His creation?
The earth is still forming!
Is forming underwater mountains and volcanoes convergent divergent or transform?
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
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
How do active volcanoes located on islands create more land area on these islands?
Active volcanoes on islands create more land area through the deposition of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials. When volcanoes erupt, the flowing lava solidifies and cools, forming new land masses on the island. Over time, repeated eruptions can contribute to the growth and expansion of the island.
Will there be a volcano form?
There are always volcanoes forming.
What shape do Hawaiian volcanoes have?
They are shield volcanoes. This means that they are cone shaped but with very shallow slope angles forming the volcanoes flank.
Are any new volcanoes forming?
yes by the western pacific ocean
Why do you think God included volcanoes in His creation?
The earth is still forming!
Why did the percentage of nitrogen slowly increase when the earth was forming?
Due to volcanoes
Is forming underwater mountains and volcanoes convergent divergent or transform?
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
Where do volcanos happen?
Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
What events can occur when plate move?
Volcanoes forming, Islands Forming, Deep Sea Trenches Forming, Earthquake Actvity, New oceanic crust forming, Old oceanic crust being subducted
Is the formation of the Hawaiian Islands is one example of volcanoes forming over a hot spot?
Yes. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by hot spot volcanoes.
What are three results of tectonic plate activity?
Results can be such as earthquakes, or mountains and volcanoes forming.
Where does volcanoes form?
Well, volcanoes form in many places. but the main place where volcanoes form is along the border of plates. this happens when one plate goes under the other and starts forming into a volcano.
What is a chain of fire active volcanoes forming a circle?
it's Pacific. :) hope i helped! :bd
