How are earthquakes and volcanoes different? How do volcanoes support the theory of plate tectonics? What happens at divergent plate boundaries in the continental crust? How are ocean ridges and fault-block mountains similar? How does density affect plate tectonics?

How are underwater volcanic mountains formed? How does subduction create volcanoes? How do volcanic island arcs form? How hot is lava from a composite volcano? How many volcanoes are on Maui? How do earthquakes and volcanoes change the Earth's surface?
Indonesia is located on the edge of the volcanic ring that circles the Pacific. This means volcanoes and earthquakes, which can cause serious loss of life.Many people there have heard suggestions of what to do in an earthquake. For instance, they are taught to stand in a doorway or, in ...
How are Volcanoes Formed? The earth is made up of three layers:the outer crust,the mantle, andthe core.The primary ingredient for the formation of volcanoes is the mantle which is made up of molten materials and gases commonly referred to as magma. When intense pressure develops within the ...
So what happens to the magma formed by these processes? We saw that the magma produced at ocean ridges just hardens to form new crust material, and so doesn't produce spewing land volcanoes. There are a few continental ridge areas, where the magma does spew out onto land; but most land...

Valley glaciers are currently active in Scandinavia, the Alps, the Himalayas, and on the mountains and volcanoes along the west coasts of North and South America. The amazing, jagged landscape of the Southern Alps in New Zealand is also courtesy of the erosive power of glaciers. The lighting ...
Most of us now understand that there are plates shifting under the land we stand on. We see this shifting on the surface in the form of volcanoes and earthquakes. The study of these tectonic plates, though, is a relatively recent development. It began in earnest in 1915, when a German ...
These zones are considered dormant due to the amount of time since they were last active. However, should one of these zones exhibit activity in the future, landslides, eruptions and earthquakes could potentially devastate populous areas like Vancouver, Whistler and Squamish. What if Volcanoes in...
