Question

Suzie said that volcanos form where the earth’s plates are moving away from one another. Johnny said that volcanos form where earth’s plates are moving towards each other. In two or more complete sentences, make a decision as to whose statement is correct and justify your decision.

Answer 1

Answer:

Johnny is correct.

Explanation:

Volcanoes are openings in mountains present on the Earth's surface that expel gases, fire and lava. Volcanoes arise when so-called tectonic plates - which are part of the earth's crust - move toward each other and collide by moving the material present over them and leaving openings for deeper layers of the planet. Through these openings can come the magma present between the crust and the blanket - middle layer of the Earth.

According to this, we can say that Jhonny is correct.

Answer 2

Suzie's explanation is correct because magma flows through cracks between faults and this can result in the creation of volcanoes. Johnny's statement causes trenches which could lead to magma flow but not volcanoes.
