Question

Can someone tell me a summary of volcanoes and plate tectonics? (Please quickly!)

Answer 1

Answer:

Plate tectonics and how they effect volcanoes

Explanation:

Plate tectonics are when the plates (the seperate pieces of earth's crust)

crash into each other, being the main cause of natural disasters such as earthquakes, however the collision of two plates can push magma from the mantle into a crevice in the crust, forming a volcano.

I hope that this helped you.

Answer 2

TECTONIC PLATES

a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates which move slowly over the underlying mantle.
VALCONES AND TECTONIC

Most volcanoes form at the boundaries of Earth's tectonic plates. These plates are huge slabs of the Earth's crust and upper mantle, which fit together like pieces of a puzzle. These plates are not fixed, but are constantly moving at a very slow rate. They move only a few centimeters per year.
