The crust at the ocean floor is denser than the crust below the
continents.
When two tectonic plates collide, a dense oceanic plate will
be forced underneath a less dense continental plate. This is
called subduction.
Oceanic crusts also tends to be cooler at the edges of a
Igneous rock is made when any sort of molten rock cools down
and solidifies. Lots of rocks on the surface of the Earth were
formed this way.
The type of igneous rock (and the behaviour of the volcano)
depends on how quickly the magma cools and the composition
of the magma.
Some volcanoes produce magma that forms iron rich basalt.
The lava from the eruption is runny, and the eruption is fairly
safe.
But if the magma is silica rich rhyolite, the eruption is
explosive and it produces thick lava which can be violently
blown out of the top of the volcano.
Geologists try to predict volcanoes
Geologists study volcanoes to try and find out if there are signs
for an eruption soon, i.e. magma movement below he ground
near a volcano.
