Some theories regarding the origin of Earth's water say that it was "in" the Earth since it formed and that Volcanoes have brought it to the surface over geologic time.
However, recent scientific work using the isotopic composition of Earth's water point to it having been delivered to Earth by meteorites and comets after the Earth was formed.
This said, volcanoes are certainly part of Earth's current water cycle as areas of hot springs and mid oceanic, black smokers prove.
What else can I help you with?
How does the volcanoes explain the eruptions and how it is made?
how is eruption made
What would you expect to find composite volcanoes on Mars?
What would you expect to find composite volcanoes on Mars? Explain why.
How would you explain the abundance of andesite and basalt in leyte?
The abundance of andesite and basalt in Leyte is due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for volcanic activity. The presence of nearby volcanoes and tectonic plate movements has led to the formation of these volcanic rocks in Leyte. Additionally, the continued activity of these geological processes over time has contributed to the abundance of andesite and basalt in the region.
Explain why volcanic blocks would be uncommon on shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are formed by the relatively quiet outpouring of lava, which results in a broad and gently sloping shape. Volcanic blocks are typically associated with explosive eruptions that occur in stratovolcanoes, where gas pressure causes fragmented volcanic material to be ejected. As shield volcanoes tend to have less explosive eruptions, the formation of volcanic blocks on their slopes is rare.
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain what?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What does the nebular hypothises explain?
the formation of the universe
Which phenomenon can explain the presence of volcanoes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?
Hot Spots.
Explain the different cycles of rock formation?
This is not a question.
What does the theroy of plate tectonics explain?
it explains y there is volcanoes, earthquakes, and the movement of the continents
How did suess explain the formation of mountain ranges?
Dr. Seuss did not explain the formation of mountain ranges. He was a children's author and illustrator known for his whimsical stories and imaginative characters, not for scientific explanations. Geologists study processes like tectonic plate movements and erosion to explain the formation of mountain ranges.
Why might you need to know some physical science when studying volcanoes?
Understanding physical science, such as properties of materials and heat transfer, is important when studying volcanoes because it helps explain the behavior of magma, eruptions, and volcanic rock formation. Knowing physical science concepts also allows scientists to make predictions and better understand the processes happening inside a volcano.
What is the theory of plate tectonics and how does it explain the formation of mountains and volcanoes?
The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the Earth's lithosphere (outermost layer) is divided into several large plates that move and interact with each other. When two plates collide, one may be forced beneath the other (subduction) and may melt to form magma. This can lead to the formation of volcanoes on the Earth's surface. Mountains can form when two plates collide, but neither is forced beneath the other, instead, they push against each other and the resulting pressure and folding can uplift the Earth's crust and form mountain ranges. The movement and interactions of these plates over time have shaped the Earth's surface, including the formation of mountains and volcanoes.
