Q

What is divergent plate boundaries?

A

To tectonic plates, move apart from each other, so their least of premise leads to the melting of the magma, causing volcanism oceanic crust

Q

What is convergent plate boundaries?

A

Continental and oceanic slide towards each other to form a subduction zone, so the oceanic plate submerged under the continental plate, forming a deep oceanic range of subducting plate, lowers the melting temperature of the whole mantle and creating magma

Q

What is central volcanic types?

A

The lava comes out of the narrow pipe that causing an explosion during the action of the magma and the surface, thus forming mountains and islands

Q

What is fissure volcano

A

In the lava comes from the surface and spread smoothly to a larger area, so they form landscape such as plateaus

Q

The cooling of the lava firms

A

Igneous rocks.
In the lava cools externally, it is known as exclusive topography when the magma cools internally, then it is called intrusive topography .

Q

What is cordant intrusive topography

A

When the magma solidifies without disturbance is called cordont intrusive topography

17
Q

When the igneous rocks forms at the surface

A

Volcanic rocks

18
Q

When the igneous rocks cools at the crust

A

Plutonic rocks

19
Q

What is batholiths

A

Batholiths are large igneous rock formations from when magma rises into the earth crust and cools without erupting onto the surface

20
Q

What is sill

A

It is flat layer of igneous rocks that forms between the pre-existing layer of rocks

21
Q

What is laccoliths

A

A dome shaped Igneous rock formation that created when magma forces its way between layers of sedimentary rocks

22
Q

What is dyke

A

Dikes are made of igneous rock or sedimentary rocks. The heart semi substance that spruce from schools and eventually become solid and index are usually vertically in nature compare to that of which is sill is horizontal in nature.

23
Q

What are the extrusive volcanic landforms?

A

Cinder cone, composite cones, lava plateau, caldera with a cinder cone, volcano rock

24
Q

What is acidic lava?

A

It is a highly viscous with a high melting point due to the high presence of silica, which will flow slowly and seldom travel for before solidifying volcanic Contrato volcano, the rapid solidification of lava and loud explosion, throws volcanic bombs or pyroclastic

25
Q

What is basic lava?

A

Hottest lava and also highly fluid. It is a dark coloured base, salt, rich in iron and magnesium, but poor in silica, not explosive and vent quickly high priority with a speed of 10 to 30 mph, then gently sloping with a wide diameter forms a flat and sheet

26
Q

The frequency of active volcanoes

A

Highly active and get erupted frequently. The only active volcano of India is barren islands in Andaman Nicobar.

27
Q

The frequency of dormant volcanoes

A

It is highly dormant in nature, but have the possible possibility of eruption. Example Mount Arara after Turkey.

28
Q

What are extinct volcanoes?

A

These volcanoes were one’s active and now did, and it exhaust all the magma. Example the Deccan Plateau of India.

29
Q

What is one of the recent extinct volcano of India?

A

Narcondam Andaman Islands

30
Q

The country with the most volcanoes

A

USA

31
Q

What is the name of the volcano which killed more than 30,000 people and creates a tsunami, and which also from as trends and complete isolation of sunlight

A

Mount krakota volcano 1883
