Where are most volcanoes and earthquakes located?
They both happen along the lithosphere (tectonic) plates. For Volcanoes- The Ring of Fire, which is where most of the volcanoes in the world happen, is along tectonic plate boundaries. For Earthquakes- Faults (cracks in the Earth's crust) form above the tectonic plates, and when the two plates of the fault slip, it releases energy, and causes an earthquake to happen.
Where are earthquakes formed the most?
most earthquakes occur in the Pacific Ring of Fire. edit: I believe the answer you're looking for is that most earthquakes occur on the boundaries of tectonic plates.
What percentage of active volcanoes are found in the Ring of Fire?
most of the earthquakes in the world happen near the Ring of Fire since most earthquakes happen where two tectonic plates meet
Where does earthquakes happen most?
earthquakes mostly happen around plate boundaries!
What are the last 5 earthquakes in the world?
Most earthquakes are too small to be detected, literally hundreds probably happened today. But if we're going off big earthquakes, 1. Japan 2. Haiti 3. Chile 4. Loma Prieta 5. Xiaoxin earthquakeearthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/.../Quakes/quakes_big.
Where is most earthquakes and volcanoes located?
the ring of fire
Are most earthquakes located near the edges or near the center of the continents?
Most earthquakes and volcanoes are on the Pacific rim of fire.
Where are most of the earthquakes and volcanos located?
around plate boundries.
On what plate do most earthquakes occur?
In the pacific plate. Mostly around the area known as the Pacific Ring of Fore. 70% of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes happen in the Pacific Ring of Fire which is located in the Pacific Plate.
Is there a place that has both tornadoes and earthquakes?
Yes. Most areas of the world can get tornadoes and at least small earthquakes.
Do all countries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can generally occur anywhere in the world, but most happen at plate boundaries.
IS there anyway to determine what parts of the world are most prone to earthquakes?
earthquakes usually occur on plates' borders. You can look at the pattern of past earthquakes.
Where Most of the world's earthquakes occur around?
the Ring of Fire.
What is the circle located in and around the Pacific Coast where scientists think most volcanoes and earthquakes are located?
The ring of fire
Do most earthquakes form in the us?
No, earthquakes form all around the world. They form on the edges of the tectonic plates
What is the world's most atomic earthquake?
Earthquakes are not 'atomic'. They are natural disasters.
Who has more earthquakes Japan or California?
Japan. It has a lot of earthquakes, and is one of the most affected areas in the world. Because of their technology level (compared to countries like Indonesia and Fiji), Japan is the country with the most earthquakes reported each year. Though, that doesn't mean it's the country with the most earthquakes. But it certainly has more earthquakes than California.
