All countries are located on tectonic plates - in fact the world is entirely covered with tectonic plates! Where different plates interact with each other the results can affect the countries locally. Where plates push together you can get volcanoes and earthquakes (an example is Japan.) Where plates pull apart there is usually lots of ocean but you can get some calm volcanism, (an example being Iceland.) Where plates rub past one another there can be earthquakes. An example would be the west coast of the USA and the San Andreas Fault.)
"Young" mountain ranges as well as earthquakes, volcanoes and tectonic plates tend to be located on or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.
let me know when u get the ans
The thickest part of tectonic plates is typically found near their centers, where the lithosphere is older and has had more time to accumulate material. This thicker part is known as the lithospheric mantle, which is located beneath the Earth's crust.
Countries located in or near volcanic areas are more prone to earthquakes due to the movement of tectonic plates. The volcanic activity can also contribute to seismic activity in these regions. Additionally, the presence of magma chambers and the release of pressure during volcanic eruptions can further trigger earthquakes.
Pacific Plate
yes
Colombia is located near the South American Plate boundary. The country is situated on the northern edge of the South American Plate, where it interacts with the Caribbean Plate to the north. This boundary is associated with seismic activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the region.
because there by the edge of the tectonic plates.

The Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate are the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa.
You are able to find all types of volcanoes on, or near the tectonic plates but all have their own distinct area.
No tectonic plates are in or even near the earth's core! The tectonic plates are fragments of the earth's crust. At subduction zones the edge of the subducting tectonic plate descends as much as a few hundred miles down into the earth's mantle before melting and becoming part of the mantle.
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates
Near tectonic plates:)
At or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.along the Pacific Rim, which includes most of the countries that has the Pacific Ocean as a coast line.Plate boundaries (constructive,destructive,conservative,collision)Along earthquake faultsunderwater
Because it is located near the ring of fire, therefore it is more exposed to the tension between the tetonic plates. (Most of the movement of the tectonic plates causes earthquakes)
Most earthquakes occur near tectonic plates because as the plates shift, they move the ground causing an earthquake to occur. Most earthquakes happen there but you must keep in mind that the tectonic plates only move 4-6 centimeters every years.
