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
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Because there are no volcanoes near here. But earthquakes have a farther range.
ReplyDeleteBecause we have no volcanos in Maine
ReplyDeleteBecause we aren't in the ring of fire.
ReplyDeleteActually its just because were better than everyone else
DeleteBecause there are no volcanoes near here. But earthquakes have a farther range.
ReplyDeletebecause they have a larger range under ground
DeleteBecause there are no volcanos near Maine.
ReplyDeleteBECAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes have a farther ranges and there are no volcanoes near here.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have volcanoes because there aren't volcanoes in Maine.
ReplyDelete+Earthquakes have a larger range.
ReplyDeletewe aren't in a volcanic area and Earthquakes have a lot of plates underground so Earthquakes can happen anywhere.
ReplyDeletebecause we are not in the ring of fire
ReplyDeleteWe 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
ReplyDeleteWell 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.
ReplyDeleteWe have earthquakes but not volcanoes because there are no plates near Maine. Also, earthquakes can travel far.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's too cold in maine.
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes can happen anywhere and volcanoes aren't in Maine
ReplyDelete*not enough heat and pressure*
DeleteThere 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.
ReplyDeleteWe have earthquakes but no earthquakes because earthquakes have a wider range and volcanoes aren't around here.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes have waves, volcanoes dont.

ReplyDeleteVolcanoes do not have waves and earthquakes do.
ReplyDeletethats a good question..
ReplyDeleteI think there are no volcanos because all of the places on the map show that the places are on the water.
ReplyDeleteBecause there are no volcanoes near here. But earthquakes have a farther range.

ReplyDeletewe have earthquakes because they have farther range and we don't have volcanos is because there is more population. loganm
ReplyDeleteI think there are no volcanos in maine because there is no room for them.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteto cold
ReplyDeleteMaine is too cold. Plate tectonics can cause an earthquake any where
ReplyDeleteit is too cold
ReplyDeletei think it is because Maine's climate changes a lot
ReplyDeletebecause we are in the middle of a plate
ReplyDeleteWe don't have volcanoes because volcanoes are in warm areas like Hawaii and because of Maine's climate changes a lot.
ReplyDeleteBecause we are in the middle of a plate

Because the atmosphere is to cooled I think
ReplyDeletebecause anywhere can have earthquakes but we are not on a hot spot on the earth and you can tell from the weather out side !
