Earthquakes Yes ! Volcanoes No

Why do we have earthquakes in Maine but no volcanoes

Because there are no volcanoes near here. But earthquakes have a farther range.

Because we have no volcanos in Maine

Because we aren't in the ring of fire.

Because there are no volcanos near Maine.

BECAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES!!!!!

We had some Earthquakes and we know that we don't have volcanos because there isn't any black dots as in volcanic areas and we don't have it.

Earthquakes have a farther ranges and there are no volcanoes near here.

Kaylee A said...

We don't have volcanoes because there aren't volcanoes in Maine.

because they have a larger range under ground

Lauren B. said...

+Earthquakes have a larger range.

Evan L said...

Actually its just because were better than everyone else

Griffin M said...

we aren't in a volcanic area and Earthquakes have a lot of plates underground so Earthquakes can happen anywhere.

Leslie K said...

We have earthquakes because their waves travel and volcanos don't even have waves. In order to have a volcano erupt here one would have to from here which isn't very possible because there isn't any plate boundaries in Maine

Brendan S said...

Well we have had some earthquake in Maine but, we have not had any volcanoes because they are not around here. And earthquake's have further range.

Noah R said...

We have earthquakes but not volcanoes because there are no plates near Maine. Also, earthquakes can travel far.

Amber R said...

I think that it's too cold in maine.

Earthquakes can happen anywhere and volcanoes aren't in Maine

There is no way that a volcano can be in maine because maine is not a hot spot meaning there is no pressure or heat and no room for volcanoes.

Sadie F. said...

We have earthquakes but no earthquakes because earthquakes have a wider range and volcanoes aren't around here.

Julia M said...

I think that the reason we have earthquakes and not volcanoes is because earthquakes have a further range, and we don't live in a volcanic area

Sydney G said...

We have earthquakes in Maine, but no volcanoes because, in the history of Maine, the climate changed, and earths surface was changed so there was no Magma underneath the surface, and plates.

I think that there isn't any volcanoes in Maine because... I don't know... Maybe we're just awesome like that... I really don't know.

Earthquakes have waves, volcanoes dont.

Ancient volcanic rocks are preserved in many parts of Maine, but there have not been any active volcanoes since the Mesozoic Era. An interesting aspect of Maine's bedrock is that it records a wide array of geologic environments that have been present. All three major rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, are represented. Within each of these major types there is a large variety as well. Igneous rocks include both volcanic and plutonic types generated in rift environments, oceanic environments, island arc settings, and continental collision zones. Sedimentary rocks include terrestrial breccia and conglomerate with vascular plant fossils, shallow marine sandstones, carbonate reefs, anoxic black shales, variously mature and immature wackes, submarine channel and turbidite deposits, and deep sea chert. Metamorphic rocks are found in contact aureoles around plutons as well as in widespread regional metamorphic zones ranging from sub-chlorite zone in the north to sillimanite +K-feldspar zone in the southwest. Several episodes of crustal deformation have produced folds, faults, and shear zones now preserved in the bedrock. This variety of geologic features has attracted geologists with a diversity of backgrounds to study in Maine.

Volcanoes do not have waves and earthquakes do.

Sydney G said...

thats a good question..

*not enough heat and pressure*

I think there are no volcanos because all of the places on the map show that the places are on the water.

I think that Maine has no volcanoes because it is to cold here.

Alysse S said...

The reason Maine doesn't have volcanos is because we doesn't have tectonic plates arounds us but when we have a earth quake it has to be a big one to reach us.

we have earthquakes because they have farther range and we don't have volcanos is because there is more population. loganm

Jacob T said...

I think there are no volcanos in maine because there is no room for them.

Sophia S said...

That is a very good question. Maine does not have volcanoes because of the climate it is very cold here, magma does not flow frequently under the surface to.

to cold

Maine is too cold. Plate tectonics can cause an earthquake any where

Unknown said...

it is too cold

Ashleigh L said...

i think it is because Maine's climate changes a lot

McKayla. M said...

because we are in the middle of a plate

Natanya L said...

We don't have volcanoes because volcanoes are in warm areas like Hawaii and because of Maine's climate changes a lot.

Because the atmosphere is to cooled I think

because anywhere can have earthquakes but we are not on a hot spot on the earth and you can tell from the weather out side !
