What are two events that can occur at the same time?
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
What natural disasters occur along a subduction zone?
As for I only know, there's only earthquakes and volcanic eruptions...please help!
Why do earthquakes and volcanic eruptions frequently occur in the same area?
because a volcanic eruption happens after an earthquake
What natural disaster would occur on tectonic plate boundaries?
Many catastrophes could occur. Thus including Earthquakes,Tsunamis,and super Volcanic eruptions.
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
Do earthquakes occur prior to volcanic eruptions?
The answer is No.

Where do lots of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur?
The Ring of Fire and the San Andreas Fault
Do volcanic eruptions cause earthquakes?
Not usually. Although earthquakes often occur before a volcanic eruption, they are not the cause. The earthquakes are the result of magma (molten rock) moving underground leading up to an eruption. A few volcanic eruptions are thought to have been triggered or initiated by earthquakes, but this is not the typical case.
Why do earthquakes occur during volcanic eruptions in himalaya?
Just like all other volcanoes
Does a pyroclastic flow occur during during small earthquakes?
No. Pyroclastic flows are a result of volcanic eruptions.
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 and volcanic eruptions frequently occur in the same area?

Do geologic processes only occur gradually?
No. Some processes such as landslides, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are sudden events.
Do tsunami only occur due to earthquakes?
No. Tsunamis can also occur as a result of landslides, volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts, and underwater explosions.
