What direction did the Tectonic Plates move in the Nevado Del Ruiz 1985 Volcano Erruption?
During the 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz, the tectonic plates in the region were moving due to the subduction of the oceanic Nazca Plate under the South American Plate. This movement played a role in the geological processes leading to the eruption.
What forms a volcano eruption?
two plates rubbing together
Where Eruptions that occur where two lithospheric plates come together?
subduction boundary eruption
How is plate tectonics affecting the world?
When plates get pushed together it creates earthquakes and volcanic eruption's.
What are the names of four tectonic plates located near the Nevado del Ruiz volcano?
Nevado del Ruiz is on the South American Plate and is the result of the Nazca plate subducting under it. The Cocos and Caribbean plates are not far away.
What two plates crashed together to form the alps?
The Alps are a result of the collision between Africanand European tectonic plates, during which the western part of the Tethys Ocean, (which was formerly in between these continents), disappeared.
What has happened with the plates in Haiti?
they like tottally crashed
How does a volcano eruption form?
the techtonic plates collide together making one side push upwards out of the ground and then the lava flows out
All volcanoes are shaped like a pyramid?
No, different craters and volcanoes are shaped differently depending on how fierce and strong the collision of the plates crashed together.
What causes earthquakesand volcanoes to happen?
The earths plates rub together causing vibrations in the earth. Making Earthquakes If these plates are near volcanoes the friction will melt the magma causing a volcanic eruption.
What will happen if two plates crashed into each other?
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen: 1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake. 2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano. ~Doraexplorer
What tectonic plates were involved in the eyjafjallajokull eruption?
The Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010 involved the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates in Iceland. The volcano is located along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where these two plates are diverging.
