Why do earthquakes and volcanic eruptions frequently occur in the same area?
because a volcanic eruption happens after an earthquake
What events happen at a convergent continental continental boundary?
For a variety of reasons, the majority of the earth's most violent earthquakes and volcanoes occur in these areas
What are those active volcanoes under the sea in the Philippines?
The active volcanoes under the Philippines are part of the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire and the Pacific Plate are where the majority of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What might be the hazards at living near the ring of fire?
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the circum-Pacific seismic belt, also known as the Ring ofFire.
Why is England not affected by earthquakes or volcanoes?
It does, but not on a grand scale. It doesnt have big earthquakes or volcanoes because it's not near a boundary of two tectinoc plates. It does not have hurricanes because the ocean around it is too cool. It does suffer a lot from flooding though. A flood from a storm surge in 1952 killed 300 people. In 2007 England suffered its worst flooding on record with millions of people affected.
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.
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
How common are earthquakes?
Earthquakes occur at the location where two tectonic plates meet - the point of the primary release of energy is called the "epicenter". The energy spreads out radially from the epicenter, causing the quake to "hit" nearby towns with an intensity that reduces with distance from the epicenter. As the majority of plate boundaries are in the middle of oceans, the energy released is attenuated so much by the time it reaches populated areas that very few if any people know they happened at all; so earthquakes are far more common than you might believe. It is estimated that over four thousand magnitude-two or higher occur worldwide every day.

Is the vast majority of the world's volcanoes are above sea level?
The vast majority of the world's volcanoes are above sea level.
Are earthquakes always bad?
No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.
Where do the majority of volcanoes erupt?
your moms face
Where is the majority of earthquakes?
Japan, China, Italy
Do earthquakes occur more frequently in the interior plates?
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
