Why is there no volcanoes in United Arab Emirates?

The United Arab Emirates is in the center of a continental plate. Although. It is not impossible to have a volcano in the center of a continental plate, it is not very common as you do not have a convergent or divergent plate boundary at the specific location. As a result, there are not currently any active volcanoes in the United Arab Emirates.


What kinds of volcanoes form on converging plate boundaries?

Composite cone volcanos are the most common.. Shielding and other types are results from a divergent boundary.


What do convergent and divergent have in common?

The things in common is that they form something.

What boundary is hot spot volcano?

Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with a plate boundaries. Hot spots can drive volcanic activity all by themselves.


What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?

Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.


How can you know the location and kinds of plate boundaries on earth and is there a plate boundary on earth and is there a plate boundary near out area?

You know the location of a plate boundary by how the rocks and other geological features are in a curtain area, for example earthquakes and volcanoes are very common near a boundary. We can tell what kind of boundary it is by the way the ground is moving, if the ground is moving away from the boundary it is most likely a divergent boundary, and if the ground is moving towards the boundary it is likely to be a convergent. I hope that helped

What is boundary for convergent?

In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
