Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
Most volcanoes on land are caused by the Earth's plates moving toward each other, a process known as convergent plate boundary. When two plates converge, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanoes along the subduction zone.
What makes continents drift?
what makes continents drift the land used to be a big long peace of land. then we started having these big earthquake and natural storms and started breaking the earths crust and finally broke threw and made massive peaces of land drift away and the other land locked in and that's how the continents drifted called (continental drift)
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away form each other?
Sometimes it causes earthquakes, as well as when earths plates move in opposite directions. But yes, volcanoes are also formed when these plates move out of place or away from each other, for example Hawaii. That is an example of plates sliding through the ocean which causes islands.
How does volcanos change the earths surface?
volcanoes change the earths surface due to the lava set hard and drys which can make the surface bobbly and ruff also it makes the land more fertilekill people
What process is in animals that are stimulated by the movement of earths continent and oceanic plates?
The process in animals that is stimulated by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates is known as "biogeography." This involves the study of how animals are distributed and how their geographic distribution is influenced by the movement of continents and oceanic plates. Changes in land masses can impact habitat availability, climate, and the migration patterns of species.
What makes land rise?
the shifting of earths plates can cause land to rise and slowly make mountains
What is the name of the boundary were to plates of the earths crust move apart?
Constructive because new land is 'constructed'
When the plates break apart it makes new land?
sometimes
What happens when 2 land plates collide?
it makes a mountain
Is earths land bigger than Earths water?
No. As a approximation there is two thirds water to one third land.
What makes Mexico's land unstable?
The fact that Mexico lies atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates).
Why is the Atlantic expanding?
The Earths plates are constantly moving, and changing causing different landmasses and occurrences to happen such as earthquakes. Our earth is always changing in size. Straight, short Answer: It is because of the movement of the Earths plates constantly changing and shifting.
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
What causes earthquaques in the pacific coast of the US?
the movement of pressure on earths plates or land causes them to push each other and cause a crack in the earth
Why the mountains have a pyramid shape?
Mountais are tall because when two continental plates collide by moving magma underneath the crust, the two plates push up each other, which makes the land rise up and form the shape of the mountains. :) hope it helped.

What ways does plate movement contribute to shaping the earth?
when the plates break apart, it makes new land.
