Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
The answer is that earthquakes and volcanoes are most frequent along Tectonic plate boundaries, these are the natural pieces that the continents and oceans are on.
What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
Why are earthquakes most likely to occur?
when earthquakes occur they're most likely on or near tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are the different segments of the earths crust. Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move towards, away eathother or when one plate weighs more than the other and bottom one melts away and becomes magma (lava underground). Basically a shift in the earth. Because both earthquakes and volcanoes are both linked to tectonic plates, earthquakes can also set off tremors than can make some volcanoes erupt!
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.
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
The answer is that earthquakes and volcanoes are most frequent along Tectonic plate boundaries, these are the natural pieces that the continents and oceans are on.
Does Hawaii have the most earthquakes and volcanoes in the United States?
Yes, Hawaii has the most earthquakes and volcanoes in the US.
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
Where are volcanoes and earthquakes most likely to occur in southwest Asia and africa?
There are faultlines along the bottom of the Levant coastline, the Red Sea, and the Olduvai Gorge. Earthquakes happen in those areas. There are no significant volcanoes in the Middle East or Africa.
What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
Which state is most likely to experience an earthquake?
In the US, the states with most earthquakes are Alaska, California, andHawaii in that order.
Where is most earthquakes and volcanoes located?
the ring of fire
Where are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes?
around plate boundries.
Is there a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Most volcanoes form along the edges of Earth's tectonic plates. Also most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
What plate occurs most of the worlds volcanoes and earthquakes?
