Is there a relationship between one volcanic eruption and another half a world apart?
Two volcanoes in totally different areas may be caused by the same fundamental process. But if you are asking whether one volcanic eruption can trigger another the answer is maybe, but the evidence is not clear. 8. Where are most active volcanoes located? Look at a map of the world that shows active volcanoes. Most are located in curvilinear belts that coincide with the convergent plate margins of the world. A few are located along the divergent plate margins and then a few more are found nowhere near a plate margin, for example Hawaii? Maps courtesy of Cambrian Systems Inc. 9. In relation to the comet theory, can a volcanic eruption cause such devastation like that now or in the future? Hmm. By the “comet theory” I imagine you mean the theory that a cometary/meteoritic impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs? This is a thorny question and is still the subject of somewhat heated debate. Some scientists think that a burst of global volcanic activity could have caused the atmospher
