Continents because the continents were together before when the earth was in its early stages then every thing separated so therefore the answer is continents

A mid-ocean ridge forms along what plates?
tectonic plates
An earthquake zone is likely to be along?
An earthquake zone is likely to be along fault lines or where two or more tectonic plates meet or a chain of volcanoes parallel to a continental coast.
What common natural disasters can occur along the edges of the tectonic plates?
Earthquakes!
Earthquake zone is likely to be on?
An earthquake zone is likely to be on a fault-line. A fault-line is defined as the area underground where two tectonic plates meet or overlap.
Why do seismic waves originate along fault lines?
Seismic waves originate along fault lines because that is an edge of a tectonic plate. Imagine the tectonic plates as pieces of a puzzle. The fault line is the wavy side or edge in the piece and the pieces fit together. Whenever the plates move, they rub against the tectonic plates or puzzle pieces on their sides creating seismic waves.

Why do earthquakes mostly happen along tectonic plates boundaries?
Becuase when the tectonic plates shift or move, it creates an earthquake. so the closer to the tectonic plates, the more strong the earthquake.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
What are the different pieces of the Earth's crust called?
Along with their attached rigid uppermost mantle, they are referred to as tectonic plates.
What typically occurs along boundaries of tectonic plates?
earthquakes
Where are active volcano's most likely to form?
along the pacific ring of fire or any similar region where two tectonic plates are colliding.
Where do faults usually occur along?
along the the boundarys between 2 or more tectonic plates
Do earthquakes and volcanoes appear worldwide?
Yes but there are areas that it is much more likely to happen and areas it is not likely to happen. Of course this is because of tectonic plates and when they shift and in what direction they bump into each other. The earthquakes and volcanoes are more likely to happen along the Ring of Fire which shows where the tectonic plates are. It is a bit hard to explain though. My final answer is no it is not impossible but in some spots it is very unlikley, in others it is more likley. If you want to learn more, try searching tectonic plates in wikipedia or google.
What common natural disasters can occur along the edges of the tectonic plates?
Earthquakes!
Which layers does Earth's tectonic plates sit atop and slide along?
Asthenosphere
Why earthquakes in Italy?
As it is along a fault line (gap between tectonic plates)
