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
Do volcanoes form on diverging or converging plate boundaries more?
Most are found on converging
Are mountains and volcanoes two features found most commonly at plate boundaries?
Yes. Generally that is where the tectonic plates are. Mountain and volcanoes are formed by tectonic plate movement, so yes they are 2 features that are most commonly found at plate boundaries. Fault Block Mountains(:
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Where do volcanos happen?
Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
Where do most of earth's earthquakes volcanoes and mountain building occur geologically?
plate boundaries
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
How are volcanoes related to earth?
Volcanoes are found at Convergent and Divergent plate boundaries, where Plate Tectonics is most active. Magma is produced along plate boundaries, like the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate, forming volcanoes.
Are cinder cone volcanoes located in the middle of a tectonic plate or at the boundary?
Most volcanoes of any type, including cinder cones, are found at plate boundaries, but some are associated with hot spots.
What is the relationship between the location of volcanoes and the earth's tectonic plates?
The locations of volcanoes related to plate boundaries are most volcanoes are located at either divergent or convergent plate boundaries, where plate motions provide the mechanisms to form magma. suck dicl
Do most volcanoes form near colliding plate boundaries?
yes most volcanoes do from near colliding plate boundries
Do plate movements help drive the rock cycle to form volcanoes?
Yes. Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with plate boundaries.
