Volcanoes are evidence of the ceaseless tectonic activity that our planet has. The molten core of the earth drives all of the processes we see, including volcanoes, earthquakes, even as high up as the northern lights. The heat that is inside of our planet is the driving force behind volcanoes, however volcanoes form in many different areas, and under many different conditions. Different types of volcanoes are evidence of different processes being present underground. However, to put it simply without the heat from the core of the earth there wouldn't be any volcanoes.

ProfessorVolcanoes are formed when molten rock, ash, and gases escape from deep within the Earth through openings in the Earth's crust. This is typically caused by tectonic plate movement and pressure build-up. Volcanoes play a crucial role in recycling elements and gases between the Earth's surface and interior.

What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?
The Hawaiian Islands are primarily made up of shield volcanoes. These volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by repeated eruptions of low-viscosity lava that can flow long distances. The shield volcanoes in Hawaii, such as Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, are some of the largest in the world.
What are 3 types of volcanic mountains and explain?
Shield volcanoes are made from runny lava and steep sides. Cinder cone volcanoes are made from lava layers that alternate with layers of cinder. composite volcanoes shoot lav into the air.
The three types of volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are the largest of the three types of volcanoes, built from basaltic lava flows and shaped like a gentle dome. Cinder cone volcanoes have very steep slopes and reach heights of 300 meters or less, and are made from ejected lava. Composite Cone Volcanoes are large symmetrical cones made from viscous lavas that are extruded, and they are the most violent volcanoes of the three.
What are cinder cone volcanoes made of kid term?
Answer: Made of trapped air bubbles
Why are volcanoes made constructive plate boundary?
they are not as violent because the plates are sliding away from each other and it is a much smoother process
