What else can I help you with?
What causes earthquakes at the edges of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes are mostly found at the edges of plates because that is the area of which the plates collide in different ways resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.
Do volcanoes form only on the edges of plates?
Yes
A __ is where edges of tectonic plates meet?
plate boundary
Why are the edges of plates so important to the cause and location of earthquakes?
I'm afraid I only know the cause. When the edges of the tectonic plates rub together it causes vibrations, that is the earthquake.
Where are most active volcanoes abundant?
Edges of tectonic plates
What are the edges of Earth's plates called?
The edges of Earth's tectonic plates are called plate boundaries. At plate boundaries, the plates interact with each other through processes such as subduction, seafloor spreading, and transform faulting.
The edges of most litospheric plates are characterized by?
frequent volcanic activity
Where are the volcanoes and the earthquakes commonly situated?
Around the edges of tectonic plates.
What most effectively outlines the edges of the lithosphere plates?
The lines of earthquake epicenters most effectively outline the edges of the lithosphere plates. The epicenter refers to the point on the earth's surface above the focus of an earthquake.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Is it true that earthquake zones coincide with the edges of lithospheric plates?
Yes, earthquake zones often coincide with the edges of lithospheric plates because this is where tectonic plate boundaries interact. The movement and interaction of these plates can cause stress to build up and be released in the form of earthquakes.
Why are volcanoes usually found on edges of tectonic plates?
because they form from earthquakes
