Peoples ideas of volcanoes are of exploded mountain tops and magma. But do all mountains not have magma beneath them and simply haven't blown yet, but will. I mean doesn't this course takes millions of years or something. Don't they all blow or are at risk to?

  1. Monutains arent volcanoes.

    Montains are formed when two plates crah into eachother. The plates crumple and fold, forming mountains.

    Volcanoes are formed when theres a spot on the crust where magma is being built up. The magma is eventually spurted out as lava due to pressure. The lava cools into rock. Each time the volcano blows up, the rock builds up and it gets bigger.

    Mountains are formed by plates. Volcanoes are formed by lava.


  2. no

  3. I think (though I am not sure) that all the volcanos are connected to the core of the Earth which is still very hot even after 46b years due to incessant atomic explosion therein.The crust,which we call plates also move at times when extraordinary pressure been created due to huge explosion.Such pressure, depending upon its strength shift those plates and create mountains and maybe earth quake is caused for the same reason.When explosion is moderate and finds a weak path toward the surface the hot contain of the core of the Earth comes out producing VOLCANO.

  4. no, not all mountains are volcanoes.

  5. no not all of them are volcanoes some of them are just were the tectonic plate collided with one another

  6. no, not all mounains have magma under them.

  7. Not all mountains are volcanos. Volcanos  basicaly don't have snow on them and they are not as long as the other mountains. They are kind of triangler.
