WHAT! VOLCANOS WHAT!!!
The differences between volcanoes that form where plates diverge and volcanoes that form where Earth's plates slide past each other is that when the volcanoes form where the Earth's plates diverge the plates are spreading apart as with the volcanoes that have plates that are sliding past each other that means that they're subducting. As you probably know convergent means that the plates are colliding and divergent means that the plates are spreading apart. You guys probably know that a hot spot is where most volcanoes occur at about 70%. A transform fault boundry is where two plates grind past each other along what are called strike-slip faults. As you probably know is that a continental plate is a plate that collides with another oceanic plate and a continental plate is when a continental collides with another continental plate. A oceanic plate is a plate that collides with another continental plate. As you probably know composite volcanoes are the most explosive type of volcanoes. Cinder cone volcanoes are the most common type. Shield volcanoes are dormant which means that they're non-explosive and gentle. A hotspot is when lava rises in between the plate boundries. Did you know that Cruzo Wilson was the first person to suggest the hotspot theory in 1963. Well I hope that you guys liked my blog and if you are'nt following my blog already than please do. So why don't you check out my video called the volcano song.
