In conclusion, volcanoes can be found all over the world but most are found along the "Ring of Fire"
In conclusion, volcanoes can be found all over the world but most are found along the "Ring of Fire"
Volcanoes are dangerous and can cause a lot of damage.
Volcanoes are dangerous and can cause a lot of damage.
Merriam Webster defines a volcano as "a vent in the crust of the earth or another planet or a moon from which usually molten or hot rock and steam issue."
Merriam Webster defines a volcano as "a vent in the crust of the earth or another planet or a moon from which usually molten or hot rock and steam issue."
Some volcanoes such as Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Ranier are dormant and have not erupted in thousands of years.

What happens at a convergent plate boundary?(1 point)
Earth's rock plates pull away from each other
Earth's rock plates pull away from each other
Earth’s rock plates collide with one another
Earth’s rock plates collide with one another
Earth’s rock plates slide past each other

Earth’s rock plates collide with one another
Earth’s rock plates collide with one another
Earth’s rock plates slide past each other
Earth’s rock plates slide past each other
Earth’s rock plates grow denser
Earth’s rock plates grow denser
The correct answer is: Earth’s rock plates collide with one another. At a convergent plate boundary, two tectonic plates move towards each other and collide, resulting in various geological phenomena such as mountain formation or subduction zones.
Which statement best explains the process of subduction?(1 point)
A denser plate pushes down under a lighter plate.
A denser plate pushes down under a lighter plate.
An oceanic plate covers a continental plate.
An oceanic plate covers a continental plate.
One plates slides past another plate horizontally.
One plates slides past another plate horizontally.
Magma rises through the cracks in a solid rock plate.
A denser plate pushes down under a lighter plate.
A denser plate pushes down under a lighter plate.
An oceanic plate covers a continental plate.
An oceanic plate covers a continental plate.
One plates slides past another plate horizontally.
One plates slides past another plate horizontally.
Magma rises through the cracks in a solid rock plate.
The correct answer is: A denser plate pushes down under a lighter plate. Subduction occurs when a denser tectonic plate is forced beneath a lighter plate at a convergent plate boundary, typically where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. This process is responsible for the formation of subduction zones and can lead to the creation of volcanic arcs and deep-sea trenches.
