Earthquakes could occur anywhere--on land or in sea. If they occur in the ocean, then they could trigger a tsunami warning.

What cause earthqukes and volcanic eruptions?

Plate tectonics causes most volcanoes and earthquakes. When plates converge, diverge, or slip along another plate, volcanoes and earthquakes occur. There are other forms of volcanoes such as the Hawaiian Islands where volcanoes are formed over a hot spot in the mantel, and we have small earthquakes here in Wisconsin called rebound earthquakes where the land is actually still rising from the last ice age when it was depressed by the weight of the glaciers. There are other geophysical events that can create earthquakes too such as fracking.


Do earthquakes occur on land?

Yes.


What are the special features of earthquakes and volcanoes?

the earthquakes special feature is that the land is splitting and a huge crack comes and splits the land. the volcanoes special feature is that the lava comes from the core and comes out of the hole of the volcano.


Do most earthquakes occur under the ocean floor or on land?

Most earthquakes occur on the ocean floor, particularly along tectonic plate boundaries such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, earthquakes can also occur on land where tectonic plates meet, such as along faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.


What is the density of earthquakes and volcanoes?

The density of earthquakes and volcanoes varies depending on the region. Earthquakes tend to be more densely distributed along plate boundaries, while volcanoes are often found near tectonic plate boundaries and hot spots. Overall, both earthquakes and volcanoes are more prevalent in regions with active tectonic activity.

Why are volcanoes earthquakes and tsunamis so destructive?

They involve the movement of tectonic plates under the Earths surface. These land masses are so large that if they move significantly there can be catastrophic results, such as them shaking (earthquakes on land or tsunamis on water) or letting through molten lava (volcanoes).


Why both earthquakes and volcanoes occur in some fold mountain areas?

Mountains and earthquakes occur in the same fold mountain areas because of the tectonic plates coming together, moving apart, and sliding one atop another. This causes areas to rise and form mountains.
