A volcanoe builds land around it because when it forms, the techtonic plates under it slip and slide and they get pushed up to the surface.
Volcanoes form when magma needs a way to get out and its practically makes its own route by pushing and moving up plates from inside the earth

What is a constructive force of nature A volcano B tsunami C hurricane or D erosion?
Volcanoes are constructive, as they build up the land.
What is the difference between Compare volcanoes that form on land with volcanoes that form in the ocean.?
Land Volcanoes eat lamas and underwater volcanoes eat camals
How do volcanoes help build up new land?
Volcanoes help create new land because after they erupt the lava (called magma when still inside the volcano) begins to solidify at the bottom and turns into land. ex: Hawaii: the island started out as an under water volcano (caused by sea floor spreading) and after eruptions it began to build up until it peaked out of the ocean. It kept building up until it formed a large land mass.
Where do chains of volcanoes in the oceans and lines of volcanoes on land is that they formed at?
they are fromed at hot spots
How do active volcanoes located on islands create more land area on these islands?
Lava from volcanoes cools and hardens, forming more land.
Why do you have volcanoes?
Well, if volcanoes didn't exist, neither would the earth. Since volcanoes helped build the earth.
Why do people build their cities at the base of volcanoes?
Most of the time, its because of the fertile land produced by the lava flow.
Does volcanic ash increase Hawaii's land mass?
No. The volcanoes of Hawaii build up the land through lava flows. Explosive, ash-producing eruptions are rare there.

How are volcanoes constructive?
They build new land, such as new formations of mountains, lakes, and islands. Hawaii is several volcanic eruptions that is creating more islands.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
How many volcanoes are there?
There are about 1500 volcanoes on land that are known to have have been active .
What valuable things do volcanoes produce?
Land is probably the most valuable thing volcanoes produce. Volcanoes typically erupt and magma bursts out and when it flows on the land it forms newly required land. This land is made then by the magma cooling off.
What do volcanoes do to the land?
it turns into rock and forms a new land
