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 the location of fold mountain and plate boundaries?
All fold mountains are found on convergent plate boundaries.
What is the relationship between earthquake depth and type of plate boundary?
subbduction zones
Are all plate boundaries located where land meets water?
No, there is no relationship between the two.
What you can infer about the relationship between earthquake and volcanoes?
Volcanoes are sometimes formed by earthquakes. Even though they are different things, Volcanoes are mostly formed on Colliding boundaries. The oceanic plate subducts causing CO2 to make Magma rise from the mantle.
The location on earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake is the epicenter a close correlation exists between epicenters and plate boundaries is it true or false?
Yes, it is true that the location of the earth's surface is directly above the focus of an earthquake is the epicenter a close correlation exists between epicenters and the plate boundaries.
What is the relationship between the earthquake regions and the plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are very common along transform boundaries. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault in California.

What is the relationship between intensity and magnitude of an and earthquake?
the relationship between earthquakes magnitude is the size or amount of energy an earthquake produces and has no connection to hour often earthquakes occur.

What is the relationship between the location of fold mountain and plate boundaries?
All fold mountains are found on convergent plate boundaries.
What observations can you make about the relationship between volcanoes and plate boundaries?
Volcanos are usually found over subducting plate boundaries.
Is there any relationship between earthquake zones and topography?
people dont no
What is an informal relationship?
An information relationship is one where the boundaries between work and personal life are crossed. Basically, a relationship you have with someone on a personal level.
