The answer is that earthquakes and volcanoes are most frequent along Tectonic plate boundaries, these are the natural pieces that the continents and oceans are on.

Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near the edges of the continents?
maybe
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
Why are earthquakes most likely to occur?
when earthquakes occur they're most likely on or near tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are the different segments of the earths crust. Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move towards, away eathother or when one plate weighs more than the other and bottom one melts away and becomes magma (lava underground). Basically a shift in the earth. Because both earthquakes and volcanoes are both linked to tectonic plates, earthquakes can also set off tremors than can make some volcanoes erupt!
What are the belts called that most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on?
CircumPacific Belt
Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
What are volcanoes and earthquakes likely to occur?
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
Why are volcanoes and earthquakes found together?
The majority of earth's volcanoes and earthquakes occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates. Therefore, an area that has volcanoes is likely to be prone to earthquake as well.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
What is likely to occur on the earth's surface where it lies above the edges of crustal plates?
volcanoes,earthquakes,mountains
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
Why do earthquakes occur at volcanoes?
To release pressure.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes occur on plate boundries?
earthquakes occur because plates move and they over lap causing an earthquake.
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near the edges of the continents?
maybe
What energy transfers occur in volcanoes and earthquakes?
by killing people
