Are volcanoes located in the center plates?
Not usually. Most volcanoes are located near plate boundaries, but some volcanoes at hot spots do form in the middle of plates. A few include the volcanoes of Hawaii, the volcano at Yellowstone, and the Volcanoes of the Canary Islands.
Are most volcanoes located near the edge or near the center of the continents?
they are located on the edge of plates because that's where the land grinds and shifts the most notable of the plate boundaries is the boundary around the pacific plate known as the ring of fire
Why does the cascade range have so many volcanoes?
volcanoes typically happen along earth's tectonic plates. the plates move and shift, creating both volcanoes and earthquakes. Volcanoes may also occur in the middle of plates or even over hot spots :D
What are three areas where plate boundaries may be located?
Middle of the ocean floor, around the edges of the continents, and within the continents.
Are earthquakes most common where two continental plates spread apart?
They are most likely to occur at transform boundaries.
Are volcanoes and earthquakes more frequently located along the edges or the middle of the continents?
edges
Why are earthquakes and volcanoes in the outside of the continents and not in the middle?
The edges are where the plate boundaries (usually) meet.
How many earthquakes happen in the middle of a plate?
Earthquakes hardly ever happen in the middle of plates because the is no fault-line to move. The most common earthquakes in the middle of plates are because of Volcanoes.
Where are volcanoes and earthquakes most likely to occur in southwest Asia and africa?
There are faultlines along the bottom of the Levant coastline, the Red Sea, and the Olduvai Gorge. Earthquakes happen in those areas. There are no significant volcanoes in the Middle East or Africa.

Where are hot spot volcanoes located in relation on Earths plates?
In the center/middle of the plate.
Where is Antarctica located and why?
Antarctica is located in the middle of the Southern Hemisphere. As to why, the answer is the same for the location of all continents, and there is speculation as to the why of these locations.
Is there a volcanoes Antarctica?
There're a lot of volcanoes in Antarctica and the "Ring of Fire", most volcanoes are at the "Ring of Fire" since the Ring of Fire is just like a ring and it's not all connected together. The middle of the tectonic plates may have earthquakes, volcanoes... Like if you live in Japen, there're a lot of volcanoes in Japen and since it's close to the Ring of Fire, it may have earthquakes. If you live in somewhere around Texas, there will never have an earthquake or have a volcano in Texas since Texas is very far away from the tectonic plate, and the volcanoes are mostly in California.
