How does the slow constant movement lead to earthquakes?
Constant movement causes earthquakes because the techtonic plates glide together untill they hit rough spots. Then they collide harder and create earthquakes. Hope this was helpfull. Otherwise, contact Brian Raven at Brian@ravenScience.org
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
Can hot-spots cause earthquakes?
movements due occur on land cause by a hot spots. a good example is kilauea in hawaii. its still rumbling because its on the hot spot. so yes, hot spots can generate an earthquake depending on the movement of the plates.
