There are a few continental ridge areas, where the magma does spew out onto land; but most land volcanoes are produced by subduction zone volcanism and hot spot volcanism. When the solid rock changes form to a more liquid rock material, it becomes less dense than the surrounding solid rock....

Yellowstone sits above a spot in the Earth's mantle where columns of hot, molten rock called plumes rise to form volcanoes in the planet's crust. This spot is called a hotspot, and it creates atype of volcano not associated with a plate boundary. Yellowstone has produced three calderatypes...
Jet streams are strong westerly winds that blow in a narrow band in Earth's upper atmosphere at the same altitudes at which airplanes fly. They form because of temperature variations between the poles and equator, and they exist in both hemispheres, alth
