Most earthquakes and volcanoes are on the Pacific rim of fire.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near the edges of the continents?
maybe
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earhquakes and volcanoes are typically found near the edges of tectonic plates.
Active volcanoes are most likely to form at .?
Volcanoes are most likely to form at the edges of the tectonic plates.
Why is there no volcanoes in the middle of the Caribbean sea?
The middle of the Caribbean Sea is over the middle of the Caribbean Plate. Most volcanoes form near the edges of tectonic plates. For example, the lesser Antilles are composed in part of volcanoes at the margin of the Caribbean Plate.
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.
Where are most active volcanoes abundant?
Edges of tectonic plates
Where do volcanos most likely occur?
Volcanoes usually occur on a major tectonic plate boundaries. Most occur near the edges of a plate, some occur in the middle of the plate.
Do most volcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
yes most volcanoes do from near colliding plate boundries
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 do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
