they are not as violent because the plates are sliding away from each other and it is a much smoother process

None. Haleakala, like all the other volcanoes of Hawaii, formed over a hot spot.


Is the convergent boundary where volcanoes are made?

yes


What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?

recessive plate boundary


What boundary is the mauna loa on?

If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.


Is subduction constructive or destructive?

It is neither, because plate is not being made or destroyed. Divergent is constructive. Convergent is destructive. Subduction is constructive.


What type of plate is the Mid Atlantic Ridge where new crust is being made?

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is primarily associated with constructive plate margins where new crust is being created through seafloor spreading.


What made volcanoes?

Volcano's are made by tectonic plate movements.


What type of boundary is made when plates collide?

A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. At this type of boundary, the denser plate sinks beneath the less dense plate in a process known as subduction. This collision often results in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches.


What is a boundary between plates that are moving away from each oher?

A boundary where the plates are moving apart is called a divergent boundary. It is also called a constructive boundary because new crust is made there.


What kind of tectonic plate is mt.erebus?

Mt. Erubus has tectonic plates made up of parts of the lithosphere. These plates grind together or pull apart and this causes volcanoes to erupt.


Why do earthquakes and volcanoes show up where they do?

When two tectonics plate move together and volcanoes are made by alot of magma


Was it a conservative boundary that made the Kobe earthquake?

No, it was a destructive plate boundry. :)
