Basic volcano facts
Name something that comes out of a volcano
Lava, Magma,Ash
Where is a plate tectonic found
. The lithosphere is divided into a number of tectonic plates.
What is a plate boundary?
Plate boundaries are the edges where two plates meet.
What is a volcano
a volcano is the term for any place on the surface of the earth, where hot molten rock or magma is erupted or has been in the past.
What is a plate tectonic
A tectonic plate is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere.
where is a plate boundary
Plate boundaries are found at the edge of the lithospheric plates and are of three types, convergent, divergent, and conservative. Wide zones of deformation are usually characteristic of plate boundaries because of the interaction between two plates. The three boundaries are characterized by their distinct motions
Where are volcanoes found mostly
Hawaii, plate tectoncics
What causes plate Tectonics
The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust.
What causes a plate boundary
Heat within the asthenosphere creates convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move several centimeters per year relative to each other. ... If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. and different boundaries occur when they slide and go past each other.
Why do volcanoes erupt
Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma rises to the surface. Magma is formed when the earth's mantle melts.
