Where do earthquake and volcanoes most often occur in relationship to plate tectonics?
Close to the fault line of tectonic plates the closer the more destruction.
What else can I help you with?
How the location of volcanoes is related to the theory of plate tectonics?
Volcanoes usually occur along the line where two plates meet.
Which major earthquake did not occur at a boundary between tectonics plates?
South Carolina 1886
Where do volcanoes and earthquakes happen?
Earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and contiential plates.
How are earthquake and volcano similar?
Volcanoes and earthquakes are similar in that they both occur in places where two tectonic plates meet.
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.
Theory which explains volcanic and earthquake activity in terms of plate movements?
The theory that explains volcanic and earthquake activity in terms of plate movements is called plate tectonics. Plate tectonics suggests that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that move and interact with each other at plate boundaries. Volcanoes and earthquakes occur at these plate boundaries due to the movement and interaction of the plates, such as at divergent boundaries where plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, or transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
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.
What plate matches almost perfectly with the ring of fire where most of the earthquake and volcanoes occur?
The pacific plate :)
How long before an earthquake do foreshocks occur?
Foreshocks can occur hours, days, or even weeks before a larger earthquake, but there is no definitive timeline. Foreshocks are smaller earthquakes that precede a larger mainshock, and their occurrence can vary depending on the specific earthquake event.
What occur when plates move?
When plate tectonics move they can either collide into each other, causing mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, move away from each other, or scrape past each other, this creates a fault. Often times the moving of earths plates results in an earthquake of some sort.
