Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earhquakes and volcanoes are typically found near the edges of tectonic plates.
How are volcanoes earthquake's mountains and tsunami's all connected?
Some, but not all, earthquakes are related to volcanoes. For example, most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. However, most earthquakes are caused by the interaction of the plates not the movement of magma. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it makes a small earthquake. These earthquakes are usually too weak to be felt but can be detected and recorded by sensitive instruments. Once the plumbing system of the volcano is open and magma is flowing through it, constant earthquake waves, called harmonic tremor are recorded (but not felt) Also Most earthquakes trigger Tsunami's So (Tectonic plates) is they key work for you :)
Where are most earthquakes and volcanoes found on?
A fault line in the earths crust
Explain how volcanoes form in the central rift valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface, and then the valleys form from erosion.
Why are volcanoes usually found on edges of tectonic plates?
because they form from earthquakes
What rock is made in earthquakes and volcanoes?
igneous rock. It is made from hardened magma. That's from volcanoes. I don't think earthquakes make rocks.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes show up where they do?
When two tectonics plate move together and volcanoes are made by alot of magma
How high does it have to be on the Richter scale to cause a volcano eruption?
Earthquakes do not cause volcanoes. However, magma moving to the surface rapidly can produce tremors. Volcanoes can cause earthquakes, but not vise-versa.
Is a volcano an earthquake?
Volcanoes can cause earthquakes when the magma & gases punch through the Earth crust.
Where are volcanoes and earthquakes found?
the ring of fire
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earhquakes and volcanoes are typically found near the edges of tectonic plates.
How volcanoes form in the central valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface. And from there it forms valleys.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the ring of fire?
This is where the fault lines of the North American and Pacific plate meet, an areas where there is lots of earthquakes, tsunamis (caused by quakes) and volcanoes. Underneath these cracks in the Earth is magma (lava inside the earth), every once in a while, this magma will come to the surface and form volcanoes. and that is basically itUser:Hectoria29
Where is andesitic magma found?
Andesite can be found around volcanoes with magma of intermediate composition, usually near subduction zones.
Which country is known as country of earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
Are any natural disasters related?
Tsunamis are related to earthquakes in that earthquakes happen underwater, creating Tsunamis. Volcanoes are somewhat related to earthquakes in that some warning signs of volcanoes are tiny earthquakes, created by the movement of magma and the swelling of the volcano. Other than that, I don't think so.
What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
