The earthquake will be a lot bigger but it will only affect the places near to where the plates smash together i think!
An earthquake takes place, because there are tectonic plates which sometimes crash into each other, some places are more affected then others because some places are closer to the tectonic plates then others.
tectonic plates.they bush together.and they make places shake.That's called a earthquake .
They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
Earthquakes usually happen when the giant tectonic plates of the world grind past one another. This happens when they get stuck and suddenly all this energy that is released takes form as an earthquake. However many places are vulnerable from earthquakes even when they are no where near a plate boundary. Places such as New York, London, Australia. These are called Interpolate earthquakes, cracks in the middle of the plate.
The places between plates moving together are called convergent boundaries. These boundaries are characterized by plates colliding and often resulting in tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Yes volcanoes generally erupt and form on the Borders between tectonic plates under the earths surface, as the route between the earths core and the surface is weaker on these lines. Same with earthquakes, this is when the tectonic plates move or shift against one another
Volcanoes and earthquakes are similar in that they both occur in places where two tectonic plates meet.
Areas along the Pacific Ring of Fire are known for being earthquake and volcano prone. This includes regions such as Japan, Indonesia, the west coast of the Americas, and the Philippines. These areas are characterized by tectonic plate boundaries that generate seismic and volcanic activity.
An earthquake can happen anywhere. But some places are more active than others.
