<span>They mostly follow the boundaries of tectonic plates, which are generally along the edges of continents. If you want to be even more specific, the "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific plate has the most.
</span><span>Volcanoes form as a plate that is subducted (an oceanic plate) melts in the Benioff Zone, the lower part of the Subduction Zone, forming viscous andesitic magma. The magma is less dense than the surroundings and so rises to form magma reservoirs near the surface. This magma then forms a volcano, which may erupt when more of the plate melts. In the same place, when one plate is subducted beneath another, enormous vibrations are generated which causes an earthquake</span>

How is continental movement measured?

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Geodesy, the science of measuring the Earth's shape and positions on it, allows the measurement of plate motion directly using GPS, the Global Positioning System. This network of satellites is more stable than the Earth's surface, so when a whole continent moves somewhere at a few centimeters per year, GPS can tell.

GPS uses a system of satellites to triangulate the position of a receiver anywhere on Earth. By using a network of receivers near plate boundaries, scientists can very accurately determine how the plates behave
