What else can I help you with?
Who made the book that is called volcanoes and earthquakes in action?
"The author of Volcanoes and Earthquakes in action was Marianne Borgardt."
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.
Which ocean has a ring of volcanoes on the land surrounding it?
The Pacific Ocean has a ring of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire. This area is located in the Pacific Ocean basin and is characterized by frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity due to plate tectonics.
What is the area called that major volcanic activity and earthquakes occur?
It is called the Ring of Fire. Or, if you weren't being specific, a place where earthquakes occur is called a fault line, where the continental plates meet. When they shift, it causes earthquakes and can form volcanoes.
What is the study of earthquakes and volcanoes called?
The study of earthquakes is called seismology, while the study of volcanoes is called volcanology. Both fields involve understanding the processes and phenomena associated with seismic activity and volcanic eruptions.
What is scientist called that studies volcanoes?
A vulcanologist. Seismologists study earthquakes.
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.
What type of scientists study volcanoes and earthquakes?
They are called volcanologists. It is a subset of geology.
What is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Pacific Ocean is called?
The zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the Pacific Ocean is called the Ring of Fire. It is characterized by a horseshoe-shaped area of intense seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.
What relationship exists between the location of earthquakes and the location of volcanoes?
Both Volcanoes and earthquakes are located where plates of the earth's crust are coming together. This motion and interaction at the edges of the plates is called plate tectonics.
Is the ring of fire is called because it has loads of volcanoes?
The border of the Pacific Ocean is a tectonically active zone with lots of earthquakes and volcanoes; you are correct that it is the volcanoes which have inspired the term "ring of fire".
What cause earthqukes and volcanic eruptions?
Plate tectonics causes most volcanoes and earthquakes. When plates converge, diverge, or slip along another plate, volcanoes and earthquakes occur. There are other forms of volcanoes such as the Hawaiian Islands where volcanoes are formed over a hot spot in the mantel, and we have small earthquakes here in Wisconsin called rebound earthquakes where the land is actually still rising from the last ice age when it was depressed by the weight of the glaciers. There are other geophysical events that can create earthquakes too such as fracking.
