What else can I help you with?
Are most earthquakes located near the edges or near the center of the continents?
Most earthquakes and volcanoes are on the Pacific rim of fire.
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earth's crust.?
Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults. Most earthquakes will occur near the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Do most earthquakes form in the us?
No, earthquakes form all around the world. They form on the edges of the tectonic plates
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near the edges of the continents?
Earthquakes and volcanoes mainly occur near the edges of continents because of plate tectonics. This is where tectonic plates interact, leading to the formation of fault lines, subduction zones, and volcanic arcs. The movement of these plates causes intense geological activity, resulting in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Most earthquakes happen-?
Most earthquakes happen along tectonic plate boundaries, where plates either collide, move apart, or slide past each other. These interactions create stress in the Earth's crust that gets released as seismic waves, causing an earthquake.
Is there a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Most volcanoes form along the edges of Earth's tectonic plates. Also most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes.
What is the relationship between the location of earthquakes volcanoes trenches and plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen along the edges of the plates.
Were do earthquakes mostly happen?
Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries.
Where on earth do earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near one another?
volcanoes form on hot spots (an area on a continential plate) so they are near each other <><><><><> They also form near edges of tectonic plates.
Why are most earthquakes and volcanoes located near plate boundaries -?
Earthquakes and volcanoes frequently occur where edges of the earths plates are colliding and or moving away from another.
Where do earthquakes and volcanes occur?
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.
