What regions do earthquakes mostly occur?
earthquakes usually occur at tectonic plate boundaries
Why do most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur near tectonic plates because as the plates shift, they move the ground causing an earthquake to occur. Most earthquakes happen there but you must keep in mind that the tectonic plates only move 4-6 centimeters every years.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Do most earthquakes occur under the ocean floor or on land?
More Earthquakes occur on land.
Earthquakes can occur when the what of rocks is passed?

What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What are two things geologists can't predict about earthquakes?
(i)Time frame within which it must occur. (ii)Location where after shocks are likely to occur.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do most earthquakes occur on fault lines?
Most earthquakes do occur on fault lines.
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
What regions do earthquakes mostly occur?
earthquakes usually occur at tectonic plate boundaries
Where do the worlds earthquakes occur around?
Most earthquakes occur where the edges of Earth's plates are.
Why do most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur near tectonic plates because as the plates shift, they move the ground causing an earthquake to occur. Most earthquakes happen there but you must keep in mind that the tectonic plates only move 4-6 centimeters every years.

What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
