Are there any volcanoes in Bhutan?
In 1934 there was a huge earthquake in Kathmandu, Nepal. It was estimated that around 20,000 human lives were taken.
What feature would you find around converging tectonic plates?
Mountains, volcanoes, earthquake zones
Why earthquake and volcanoes appear in generalized belts around the planet?
The belts are lines where the plates of the earth's crust move against each other.
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.
Why people shouldn't live near volcanoes?
Well you wouldn't want to live near a volcano would you? Its quite obvious volcanoes erupt hot lava/magma which burns everything in its path, including people. People do live near volcanoes though, but they live near dormant or extinct volcanoes and have warnings before erruptions and are usually able to escape if they keep calm. Back to why you shouldn't live near them. The areas around volcanoes have a more likely chance of an earthquake. Also the areas around volcanoes that have erupted before is often "black" and bare. Volcanoes release poisonous gases too.

Where was the location of the great kanto earthquake?
In the Kanto plain around Tokyo
Mos of the earths volcanoes are located in a wide uneven loop around the pacific ocean?
that is known as the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire has many volcanoes and is an earthquake danger zone.

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.
Do all volcanoes share cracks surface?
No because Volcanic ash only spreads lava around the surface the only natural disaster that cracks the surface is a earthquake. A earthquake is when two of the earths plates are moving and it rumbles the earth

Why are volcanoes are in the ocean?
Why not? There are volcanoes all around the world. The Pacific is HUGE; it would be amazing if there weren't several volcanoes around and in the Pacific.
Why do people live by volcanoes?
they live by volcanoes because they feel like living by volcanoes. there is lots of fertile soil around a volcano and they dont erupt very often!
What volcanoes erupted in the year 2009?
volcanoes all around the world
