How would a map showing the locations of active volcanoes compare to the map showing the location of earthquake epicenters?
(a) Only a small percentage of volcano locations would be in the same regions as the epicenters(b) A large percentage of volcano locations would be in the same regions as the epicenter(c) There would be no match between the locations of the volcanoes and the epicenters(d) The location of the volcanoes and the epicenters would only match in the ocean regions
What is the relationship between plate boundaries and earthquake epicenters?
Yes! Earthquake epicentres and volcanoes both tend to be concentrated at or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Why do volcanoes kill fewer people than earthquake?
Because Volcanoes love people
Are the locations of volcanoes related to earthquake faults?
yes
Are there any patterns to observe in the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes?
no
Are active volcanoes and earthquake epicenters near each other?
Yes they are

What areas are volcanoes not associated with?
they are not associated with epicenters...!!(: ENJOY.
What types of information can a scientist get by studying seismogram?
The location and movement of earthquake epicenters and faults. The internal structure and composition of the Earth The structure and layering of crustal rocks. The likely locations of mineral and hydrocarbon deposits. Information as to where it is wise and unwise to build structures. Where Tsunami are likely to happen Information as to when volcanoes may erupt. Where earthquake zones are the frequency of large earthquakes (if the seismic record is long enough)

How are volcanoes earthquakes and tsunamis related?
A volcanic eruption can cause an earthquake and an earthquake underwater can cause a tsunami.
Does a lahar come out of an earthquake?
No. Lahars are mudflows that are produced by volcanoes.
Is there a relationship between the direction of the movement and distribution of earthquakes?
Volcanoes
