Relation of volcanoes and plate tectonics 

 

  Several Volcanoes :-  

                    Vesuvius       -      Italy

                     Etna             -     Sicily 

                     Paricutin      -      Mexico

                     Fuji               -      Japan 

                     Mauna Loa   -      Hawaii

 

Volcanoes take a long time for originate and eruption. After the some eruptions , Volcano's mouth becomes a lake ( because of rain water


ex: Lake Titicaca

 




 So ,  Fortunately There are no volcanoes in Sri Lanka
