Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
Why type of plate boundary are most earthquakes near?
convergent boundary
How does plate tectonics play a role in the formation and eruption and volcanoes?
Volcanoes and volcanic activity occurs at plate boundaries. Especially when one plate over rides another plate - convergent boundary. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
Are Brazil likely to have earthquakes and volcanoes why?
No. This is because it is not near the plate boundaries
What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
How can you know the location and kinds of plate boundaries on earth and is there a plate boundary on earth and is there a plate boundary near out area?
You know the location of a plate boundary by how the rocks and other geological features are in a curtain area, for example earthquakes and volcanoes are very common near a boundary. We can tell what kind of boundary it is by the way the ground is moving, if the ground is moving away from the boundary it is most likely a divergent boundary, and if the ground is moving towards the boundary it is likely to be a convergent. I hope that helped
Can Italy get earthquakes?
Yes. Italy is near the plate boundary where the African Plate subducts under the Eurasian Plate, making it very prone to earthquakes.
What is the patteren between Ayelu and Likaiu volcanoes?
both volcanoes are located near the African plate boundary
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?

Which country is known as country of earthquakes and volcanoes?

Is there a volcano which is near a plate boundary?
yes volcanoes could appear or erupt anywhere
