What else can I help you with?
Why do you usually find valcanoes near subduction zones?
Volcanoes are often found near subduction zones because the descending tectonic plate plunges deep into the Earth's mantle, causing melting due to high temperature and pressure. This molten rock, or magma, then rises to the surface, resulting in volcanic activity.
Where do you find volcanoes other than Hawaii?
Volcanoes tend to form at convergent subduction boundaries and divergent plate boundaries. One good example would be the broad ring of volcanoes that have formed around the boundary of the Pacific plate. This is why this region is known as the ring of fire. There is also a very long chain of undersea volcanoes that occur at the mid ocean ridges. In some places these have formed islands such as Iceland. Where subduction occurs (along the west coast of South America, and the west coast of the USA for example) volcanoes form, e.g. Subduction zones also form volcanic island arcs such as the Aleutian island chain in Alaska.
Where would you find the most active volcanoes in the US?
The most active volcanoes in the US are in Alaska, particularly in the Aleutian Islands and along the Alaska Peninsula. These volcanic regions have frequent eruptions due to the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate. Notable active volcanoes in Alaska include Mount Redoubt, Pavlof Volcano, and Mount Shishaldin.
Where would you find some of the deepest earthquakes on planet earth?
Some of the deepest earthquakes on Earth occur in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. These earthquakes can happen as deep as 700 kilometers (430 miles) below the surface. Examples of subduction zones where deep earthquakes occur include the Japan Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench.
How would you calculate the age of a volcano?
Scientists usually find the age of volcanoes through radiometric dating of their rocks.
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.

Does Montana have volcanoes?
There are no active volcanoes in Montana. You have to go further west to the Cascade Range to find volcanoes. The volcanoes in the Cascades are caused by the subduction of the oceanic crust under the continental crust.
Where might you expect to find volcanoes?
Volcanoes are typically found at tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, where plates collide or separate. They can also occur in hot spots like Hawaii. Submarine volcanoes can be found along mid-ocean ridges where underwater tectonic plates spread apart.
Where do you find ocean trenches and rift valleys?
at the very bottom of the ocean, usally

Where do volcanos form?
At Fault lines, or places of crustal activity :) Volcanoes usually form near plate boundaries where subduction is occurring. This causes magma from the mantle to rise up onto Earth's surface and form volcanoes. Most volcanoes are formed in this way. Volcanoes can also be formed by hotspots. Magma from the mantle rises through these hotspots and find their way to Earth's surface, forming volcanoes in a chain like Hawaii. Well, volcanoes are usually the land that creates islands like Hawaii. I'm doing homework right now and i'd say an island? If not that, i'd go with the first two answers. :)
What is one structure that you would find at an active continental margin that you would not at a passive?
One structure you would find at an active continental margin that you would not find at a passive margin is a subduction zone. Subduction zones occur at active margins where tectonic plates collide, resulting in one plate being forced beneath the other. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs, deep ocean trenches, and earthquakes.
Where on earth would you find a subduction zone?
You could find subduction zones in the depths of the oceans, at some plate boundaries. At this location, you would observe one tectonic plate (a plate of lower density then the other) being slipped under another plate into magma. These are also known as destructive boundaries, because crust is being destroyed, (as opposed to diverent boundaries where leaking magma creates new crust.)

Where can you find cactuar in any Final Fantasy game?
They usually show up in desert zones.
