Volcanic Eruptions

• Major geological events that occur when a dense plate subducts below a less dense plate as they converge
• Major geological events that occur when plates shift suddenly and release stored energy; a frequent occurrence at transform boundaries
• A tectonic plate division of the lithosphere, including most of landmasses of Europe and Asia
• A tectonic plate division of the lithosphere, including the continental crust of South America and oceanic crust extending to the Mid-Atlantic ridge
