Lithospheric plates are outlined by faults.

The boundaries between lithospheric plates are most effectively outlined by features such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the distribution of mountain ranges. These boundaries can be further classified into divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries based on the type of plate movement occurring.

The edges of most lithospheric plates are characterized by?
frequent volcanic activity
Is it true that earthquake zones coincide with the edges of lithospheric plates?
Yes
What most effectively outline the edges of the lithospheric plates?
Mid-ocean ridges and deep sea trenches (with their associated volcanos). Also in limited areas strike-slip fault systems (e.g. California), continental collision zones (e.g. India & Asia), etc.
What are the edges of Earth's plates called?
Fault lines
What common natural disasters can occur along the edges of the tectonic plates?
Earthquakes!
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.

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.
What are the edges of the plates?

Do volcanoes form only on the edges of plates?
Yes
A __ is where edges of tectonic plates meet?
plate boundary
What patterns can be seen around the edges of tectonic plates?
what is it
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?
Fault lines
