There are a number of causes. In some cases the magma beneath a volcano cools until it is too viscous to erupt, and can even solidify completely if given enough time. A new injection of magma from the mantle can cause activity to resume. Sometimes the ultimate source of magma is removed as the plate moves away from a hot spot, or is consumer by subduction.
What 2 lines of latitude measure 66 degrees north and south?
The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude.
The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude.
Who recently visited the Antarctic?
Given that the tourist season is upon us, it is impossible to know exactly who has recently visited locations on earth south of 60 degrees S, which is the area on earth known as the Antarctic.
Why does the Antarctic Circle have 24 hours of darkness on 21st June?

What degree of latitude is the Antarctic Circle?
You can find the Antarctic Circle at about 66.5628° S. Because the earth wobbles, the circle moves with it.
What does the Antarctic Circle represent?
The Antarctic Circle is the northernmost latitude in the Southern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours, which it does for one 24-hour period twice each year.
What are the continents and oceans crossed by the antarctic circle?
The Antarctic Circle -- 66°S 33′ 44″ - the latitude in the Southern Hemisphere south of which marks locations on earth that experience at least one 24-hour day and one 24-hour night each year.
The Antarctic Circle crosses Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
What do penguins do on their tummy?
Penguins slide on their tummies, a behavior known as tobogganing, to move across the ice quickly and efficiently. This sliding motion helps them conserve energy and navigate their icy environment with ease. Penguins also use their tummies to incubate their eggs, keeping them warm until they hatch. Additionally, penguins often use their tummies to balance and support themselves while standing upright on land.
Why is the antarctic the land of the midnight sun?
Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.
What circle passes through more continents Antarctic or Arctic?

a lot of ice and water.
The Arctic Circle passes through more continents than does the Antarctic Circle. The Antarctic Circle only pass through one continent: Antarctica
What are the countries and capitals of antarctic?
Antarctica is not broken up into countries, or capitals. Instead, Antarctica is made up of territories that were claimed by different existing countries. Countries that hold territory in Antarctica include the United Kingdom, New Zealand, France, Norway, Australia, Norway, Chile, and Argentina. These territory claims are not recognized by all, but members of the Antarctic Treaty have an interest and participating role in Antarctica, but do not believe in claiming territory there. These countries include Brazil, Peru, Russia, South Africa, and the United States.
How much of antarctica is unclaimed?
Just under 15% of Antarctica is unclaimed. See the related link for who is claiming what. Just click on it to make it larger.

The Antarctic Circle passes through no countries. See the related link for a map of the Antarctic Circle.
Which is the smallest continent on the Earth?

Tardigrada Bears live in the Terrestrial and Marine environments.
What are the smallest to largest continents?
Asia,Africa,North America, south America, Antarctic Europe, and Australia
What are the major cities in arctic and antarctic circle?
Inhabited settlements within the Arctic Circle include those on the coast of the
northern two thirds of Greenland, portions of Norway Sweden, and Finland, the
major city of Murmansk and a few Siberian towns in Russia, Kotzebue, Fort Yukon,
and Barrow in Alaska, and several towns in northern Canada.
Except for scientific research stations, there are no permanent population centers
within the Antarctic Circle.
What country is less than 700 miles from the antarctic peninsula?
Very, very small parts of Chile and Argentina both qualify.
Are there any volcanos in Canada?
there are more than 200 potentially active volcanoe in Canada, 49 of which have erupted in the past 10,000 years.
Where does the sun appear south of the Antarctic Circle?
It appears in the northern sky moving from east to west, right to left, except when it fails to rise for a period in the winter. Near the antarctic circle this period is only a week or two, and it is longer at places further south, until at the pole it vanishes for almost six months.
Those are the North and South Temperate Zones, respectively.
