What drives volcanic activity on Earth's surface?
Convection
Why did Australia have volcanic activity even though it is not located on a plate edge?
Australia's volcanic activity is due to the presence of a hot spot beneath the Earth's crust. This hotspot, located in the southeast of Australia, has caused volcanic activity in the past. The volcanic activity in Australia is not related to plate tectonics like the Ring of Fire, where most volcanic activity occurs.
What energy transfer drives volcanic activity on Earth's surface?
The energy transfer that drives volcanic activity on Earth's surface is primarily due to the heat and pressure generated by the movement of molten rock (magma) from the Earth's mantle to the surface through volcanic vents. This process is driven by the heat generated by the Earth's core and mantle.
What is an area of volcanic activity that develops above rising plumes of magma?
A volcanic hotspot is an area of volcanic activity that develops above rising plumes of magma in the Earth's mantle. This can lead to the formation of chains of volcanic islands or seamounts as the Earth's tectonic plates move over the hotspot.
Which terrestrial planets have had volcanic activity at some point in their histories?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars have all had volcanic activity at some point in their histories. Volcanic features such as lava flows, volcanic mountains, and calderas can be found on these terrestrial planets, indicating their volcanic past.
Does volcanic activity on venus and mars resemble volcanic activity on earth?
Presumably.
What accounts of 95 percent of volcanic activity on earth?
Well its a hard question but a good one. :) i think it is auatralia. because Australia is a big country and you just have to deal with that because im right and your wrong :) thanks for reading....... Come again ;) <3
How is volcanic activity on the moons of Jupiter and Neptune different from volcanic activity on earth?
The nitrogen is different between the two.
What drives volcanic activity on Earth's surface?
Convection
Does earth have any volcanic activity?
Yes there are a number of active volcanoes on Earth.
Which process causes the earth's crust to be continuously formes by volcanic activity?
Seafloor spreading
What would happen if there was no volcanic activity on earth at all?
asdfghjkl
Is earth the only terrestrial planet that has volcanic activity?
Possibly.
Where in the Solar System does volcanic activity take place?
Volcanic activity is known to occur on Earth, Mars, Venus, and Io, a moon of Jupiter. These locations have evidence of active volcanoes or past volcanic activity.
Why did Australia have volcanic activity even though it is not located on a plate edge?
Australia's volcanic activity is due to the presence of a hot spot beneath the Earth's crust. This hotspot, located in the southeast of Australia, has caused volcanic activity in the past. The volcanic activity in Australia is not related to plate tectonics like the Ring of Fire, where most volcanic activity occurs.
How do plate movements on Earth's crust create earthquakes and volcanic activity?
Plate movements on Earth's crust create earthquakes and volcanic activity through the process of tectonic activity. When tectonic plates shift and collide, they can create stress and pressure in the Earth's crust. This pressure can build up over time and eventually be released in the form of earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. The movement of plates can also cause magma to rise to the surface, leading to volcanic activity.
What is mass wasting changes the surface of the earth quickly?
Volcanic activity, earth quakes, erosion, and wind.
