Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
Volcanoes are usually found near convergent an divergent plate boundaries, which are themselves major faults and usually create minor faults. Minor faults can also provide a pathway for magma to reach the surface.
The most active fault lines are usually at boundaries between tectonic plates. Most volcanoes form at boundaries where plates either come together or move apart. Additionally, in an area where conditions are right for volcanoes to form, faults can provide a pathway for magma to reach to surface to form a volcano, thus influencing where volcanoes form on a localized scale.
No. Many faults, especially minor ones, are located far from plate boundaries.

Lava easily spews out of plate faults making volcanoes.
No. They create faults like San Andreas in California. Volcanoes form at convergent boundaries.
Landforms created at reverse faults include mountain ranges and volcanoes. Reverse faults occur at convergent boundaries and the type of convergent boundary determines the landform created.
Oceanic-oceanic plate divergence, such as that occurring at the mid-ocean ridges.
Faults and volcanoes are often found at tectonic plates boundaries
True
There are three types of fault lines in the crust. There are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
