13
What triggers the small earthquakes that occur around a volcano before an eruption?
upward movement of magma
moving magma inside the crust
pyroclastic flow
plate movements
14
The volcanoes along converging oceanic plate boundaries may form

pahoehoe
16
Volcanic belts form along:

When ash, cinders, and bombs build up in a steep pile around a volcanoes vent, the result is?
cinder cone volcano.
shield volcano.
composite volcano.
dormant volcano.
19
If there are many small earthquakes in an area near a volcano, geologists can infer?
