how do scientists determine earthquake location and how do they use this information?
Scientists use devices called Seismographs to determine the epicenter of an earthquake. If 3 or more seismographs detect an earthquake, seismic wave activity can be measured and quantified and then cross-referenced with other data (the primary and secondary seismic waves) to determine the earthquake's location.
How do humans adapt to tectonic activity?
Tectonic activity, that is the shifting of Tectonic plates resulting in volcanoes and earthquakes are typically adapted to by human abandonment. Through knowledge and legislation, habitation is not permitted in the danger zone of volcanoes. Earthquake locations cannot be as easily pinpointed resulting in stronger construction requirements.
Does the moon have volcanoes but no volcanic activity?
Yes, the moon does have volcanoes, but they are practically dead. They have no volcanic activity.
What is the point on earths surface where the seismic activity is strongest in an earthquake?
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
How do scientist know the exact spot where an earthquake begins?
Scientists have been planting seismographs along fault lines for decades. These tell the scientist what area has activity first. With these machines they can pin down activity within 50 feet most of the time.
Do scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquakes?
Yes, scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquake activity, because volcanic and earthquake activity go together. Volcanic eruptions spew out lava whose source is in the magma of the mantle. Earthquakes are caused by heat from the mantle making crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plates move.
What do scientists call an area along fault where no earthquake activity has occured for a long time?
a seismic gap

Theory which explains volcanic and earthquake activity in terms of plate movements?
Plate tectonics explain earthquakes and volcanoes so does the theory of continental drift.

What Education is needed to be a volcanologist?
A volcanologist studies the activity of volcanoes and their eruptions. These scientists are usually geologists who specialize in volcanology, and have at least a Master's degree in the discipline.
What do scientists believe causes so many earthquake in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
scientists believe that the volcano and earthquakes activity in this area are due to the formation of new part of the Earth's crust along the ridge
Are volcanoes part of Seismic Activity?
no
What is the point on earths surface where the seismic activity is strongest in an earthquake?
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
What type of volcano is in Ozark mountains?
Scientists do not know of any active volcanoes in Arkansas. There is evidence of ancient volcanism including active hot springs and gem filled Khyber pipes. Speculation as to weather the Guy, AR earthquake swarm (in which thousands of earthquakes have been recorded in the last year) may be related to a rising magma chamber have been rattling around the Internet. So far, there is no scientific evidence to tie the earthquake swarm to volcanic activity.
Was there ever an earthquake on Saturn?
Due to the impossibility of landing a probe on the surface of any of the gas giants, scientists have been unable to to tell if there has ever been seismic activity on the planet Saturn.
