Like Whoa! (sadly this about volcanoes) AGAIN!

Like Whoa! Sadly this another post about the things that go boom and spew that hot stuff. What's the word? Oh yeah, volcanoes! Anyways,volcanoes are formed 2 ways: When Earth's plates diverge and when they slide past each other. Like Whoa! Okay so the diverge thing is called a mid-ocean ridge and that causes magma to press up to the crust and then break through it. Then, the magma dries and forms a volcano! The slide past thing is called a subduction zone. This is an example of both kinds:



Like Whoa! Cute deadly lava!

Anyways a subduction zone is when a plate slides under another plate and then the rising magma from the plate sliding down flows to the surface and creates a volcano! Okay so one of the diff diffs between these formations is that their lava flows differently. Like I said before, the magma in a mid-ocean ridge breaks threw the surface but the magma in a subduction some flows towards the surface from the plate sliding down. Look! LOL!

Boooooooooooomish! Okay I hope you learned a bunch! Ew I have to go to study hall...
