How are volcanoes and earthquakes the same?
Earthquakes and volcanoes can both make the ground shake. Both of these natural disasters also cause an extreme amount of damage. A volcano is different from an earthquake in the fact that they produce lava.
Why both earthquakes and volcanoes occur in some fold mountain areas?
Mountains and earthquakes occur in the same fold mountain areas because of the tectonic plates coming together, moving apart, and sliding one atop another. This causes areas to rise and form mountains.
How and why do volcanoes erupt and do they form the same way mountains do?
i don't knw
Which best describes a major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes?
They are located in the same geographic region
Can volcanoes cause earthquakes?
Yes, volcano eruptions can cause earthquakes; they can also be caused by earthquakes or occur at the same time.Yes. Earthquakes are common around active volcanoes. They are usually triggered by the movement of magma beneath the earth and the fracturing of rock that results. However, volcanic earthquakes are not very large and generally do not cause much damage directly.
Do Earth's tectonic plates move?
Yes, they are what cause earthquakes, mountains and volcanoes.
How are mountains and earthquakes the same?
They aren't.
Are mountains the same as volcanoEs?
Similar but not the same, volcanoes erupt from magma and lava and rocks come out but not in a mountain
Where can a scientist study both volcanoes and earthquakes in the same place?

Do earthquakes and volcanoes alwyas occur at the same time?
sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Why both earthquakes and volcanoes occur in some fold mountain areas?
Mountains and earthquakes occur in the same fold mountain areas because of the tectonic plates coming together, moving apart, and sliding one atop another. This causes areas to rise and form mountains.
Where are earthquakes usailly located?
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates

Why are the earthquakes and volcanic belts roughly the same?
Because most volcanoes occur along 'fault lines' in the Earth's crust. It's the movement of these same fault lines that cause Earthquakes.
