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.

Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
Where do most of earth's earthquakes volcanoes and mountain building occur geologically?
plate boundaries
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
What do earthquakes volcanoes mineral deposits ocean trenches and mountain ranges all have in common?
they all occur along plate boundaries
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
The answer is that earthquakes and volcanoes are most frequent along Tectonic plate boundaries, these are the natural pieces that the continents and oceans are on.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)

Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
Why do earthquakes occur at volcanoes?
To release pressure.

What are volcanoes and earthquakes likely to occur?
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes mostly frequently occur?
Underground Earthquakes occur along fault lines. Volcanoes are all over the world but a good place to find one is in the Ring of Fire.
Where are volcanoes and earthquakes most likely to occur in southwest Asia and africa?
There are faultlines along the bottom of the Levant coastline, the Red Sea, and the Olduvai Gorge. Earthquakes happen in those areas. There are no significant volcanoes in the Middle East or Africa.
