What does scientists use volcanoes and earthquake activity to establish?
plate boundaries
How does valcano occur?
Volcanoes occur when two techtonic plates come together, like an earthquake- which sometimes causes the formation of a volcano, push through the crust.
What processes within Earth cause geologic activity?
Plate interactions and Earthquakes. Also Convection Currents!! How earthquakes occur is when volcanoes erupt a earthquake happens some where in the world. when a Convection Currents happen inside the in the mantle!! Plate interactions create a folded mountain!!
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes usually happen at plate boundaries?
Earthquakes occur when two plates that were pushing against each other slip apart and all the pressure gets released causing the earthquake. And idk about volcanoes
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.
What does scientists use volcanoes and earthquake activity to establish?
plate boundaries
What type of earthquake occur in Hawaii?
Usually, the kinds of earthquakes that occur in Hawaii are generated by volcanoes.
Where does earthquake and volcanic activity occur?
the ring of fire
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes occur on plate boundries?
earthquakes occur because plates move and they over lap causing an earthquake.
Can volcanoes form because of an earthquake?
Not really. Earthquakes can and do occur when a volcano is forming, but the volcano is not a result of an earthquake. Volcanoes are formed when magma (molten rock) within the earth's crust reaches the surface.
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Why are volcanoes and earthquakes found together?
The majority of earth's volcanoes and earthquakes occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates. Therefore, an area that has volcanoes is likely to be prone to earthquake as well.
How does valcano occur?
Volcanoes occur when two techtonic plates come together, like an earthquake- which sometimes causes the formation of a volcano, push through the crust.
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 is Fault Line?
Earthquake/volcanic activity occur almost exactly the fault line where plates about
What plate matches almost perfectly with the ring of fire where most of the earthquake and volcanoes occur?
The pacific plate :)
How many earthquakes occur around the 'ring of fire'?
The "ring of fire" comprises the seaboard costs of the countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean. The zone is where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust and the location of many volcanoes and continual earthquake activity. It is impossible to give you a count of the number of earthquakes that happen in the zone, earthquake activity is continuous.
