What else can I help you with?
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes mostly frequently occur?
Underground Earthquakes occur along fault lines. Volcanoes are all over the world but a good place to find one is in the Ring of Fire.
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earth's crust.?
Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults. Most earthquakes will occur near the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Where do earthquakes and volcanes occur?
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.
Why do earthquakes usually occur plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Is there is a recognizable pattern to where earthquakes seem to occur?
Earthquakes occur along fault lines and the edges of tectonic plates. These are areas where the earth's plates move against each other. When they slide past each other, earthquakes occur.
Where does a earthquake happen?
Earthquakes occur all the time all over the world, both along plate edges and along faults.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Why would you not want to live along that plate edge?
Along plate edges is where a lot of earthquakes occur. If you were to live along a plate boundary you would be putting yourself in danger of an earthquake.
Do earthquakes occur more frequently in the interior plates?
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
Do earthquakes occur in the edges of the continents?
yes it comes on the coast
Why do earthquakes occur along faults?
Earthquakes occur along faults because faults are cracks in the Earth's surface where tectonic plates interact. When stress builds up along a fault line and is released suddenly, it causes rocks to break and shift, resulting in an earthquake. The movement of the tectonic plates along faults is what ultimately causes earthquakes to happen.
What percent of earths earthquakes occur along the ring of fire?
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.
