Volcanoes
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.
Plate Boundaries
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
along plate boundaries
Yes, earthquakes can occur in plate interiors, especially in areas where older faults or weak zones exist within the plate. These intraplate earthquakes are less common than those that occur at plate boundaries, but they can still cause significant damage due to the unexpected nature of their occurrence. Examples include the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the central United States and the seismic activity in the stable interior of the Indian Plate.
Earthquakes that occur along plate boundaries
Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
