Volcanoes can change the surface of the earth in several ways. The lava that is ejected for the volcano may dry and form a new layer of sediment on the ground. The chambers of magma underground can become too pressurized and make a whole new volcanic mountain. Hope that answers your question!

How have volcanoes formed if they aren't on the ring of fire?

Firstly, the ring of fire isn't the only place volcanos can erupt, it just happens to be a particularly common place. The majority of volcanos can be found between the plates that make up the earths surface. These places are 'weak spots' are ripe for volcanos to occur. The 'ring of fire' is essentially the boundry of one such plate. However it is possible also for volcanos to form anywhere that the forces can break through the earths surface, just rarer.

They are what make volcanos and earthquakes- when they rub together they make An earthquake and earthquakes form volcanos by pushing up against each other, leading the lava from the core of the earth to spout out from within.


How do you think the convection cell might affect the earths crust?

The way the convection cell might affect the crust above it is that it can cause the earths surface to turn into a volcano. If there is already a volcano there then it will erupt,
