well mostly along plate boundarys but there can be "hot spots" in the mantle that magma come out of. for ex:hawii is right over a hot spot well mostly along plate boundarys but there can be "hot spots" in the mantle that magma come out of. for ex:hawii is right over a hot spot
most volcanoes are formed from a hot spot in the earths crust.
cracks in the plates which make up the crust. the earths crust is not connected. its made up of plates that moves and they are formed by plates pushing together then collapsing. they erupt when it gets a lot of friction from the plates pushing together
They are mostly hidden underwater because nothing has yet made them erupt and come to the surface.
Shield volcanoes erupt least violently cinder cone most violently and compost can erupt either way.
No. Most volcanoes have built up into mountains.
The volcanoes crust is what we live on! Its the outer most layer of Rock. :D
Mexico and Central America
Some do. Most volcanoes will erupt more frequently than that, but some do go 1000 years or more between eruptions.
Volcanic eruptions occur only in certain places and do not occur randomly. ... Volcanoes occur most frequently at plate boundaries
The Oceans
Composite volcanoes usually do not erupt mafic material. Intermediate material is the most common. The mafic material they do erupt is usually basalt.
Composite volcanoes erupt the most violently.
