How Does The Crust And The Mantle Interact To Create Volcanoes?
And
How are volcanoes formed?
Text
My research question was: How do the mantle and the crust interact to create volcanoes?
The mantle and the crust interact to create the tectonic plates. The crust is separated into 7 large pieces and smaller pieces (the plates), and they float on the upper mantle. These tectonic plates form volcanoes.
There are three ways to create volcanoes. The first way is when two tectonic plates hit each other. One of the plates goes under the other and the earth melts the rocks into magma and gas ("Volcanoes.", 2013). This creates the magma chamber, and when there is enough magma, it rises to the surface and then cools down ("Volcanoes.", 2013). Over thousands of years, it creates volcanoes.
The second way to form volcanoes is when two tectonic plates go away from each other. The mantle then pushes up the magma and forms a volcano("Volcanoes.", 2013). These volcanoes are underwater volcanoes.
The third way that volcanoes are formed is by hot spots. Hot spots are places where the mantle is very, very hot. The heat makes the magma bubble and move to the surface, creating a volcano ("Volcanoes.", 2013).
