Locations Of Earthquakes Volcanoes And Mountain Ranges Flashcards
This is the continents and the seafloor constitute the upper surface of the plates as the plates slide pass one another the rocks along their edges experience great pressure
Earthquake
Most of the world’s active volcanoes are found in the
Ring of fire
Volcanoes located in the ring of fire are associated with
Subduction
This contains rich sources of magma
Plate boundaries
It happens in the rise of magma and the cracks of ocean floor
Volcanic eruptions
This is when the converging plates are both continental the lithosphere tends to move up since it is much less than the mantle this results in a collision between the two continental plates the squeezing and folding of rock materials and converging plates.
Mountain ranges
