Volcanic Activities

Volcanic activities occur frequently at areas of plate boundaries. Plate tectonics causes movement in the plates and crust, resulting in cracks being formed. These cracks allows the pressure underneath the crust to push the magma, or sometimes water and steam, up the crust. Features like volcanoes, geysers and hot springs are formed in these areas.

Volcanic Activites have some effects on humans. Read more about them at Volcanic Activities And Us.
