Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earhquakes and volcanoes are typically found near the edges of tectonic plates.
Are all tectonic plates located at earth's core?
No tectonic plates are in or even near the earth's core! The tectonic plates are fragments of the earth's crust. At subduction zones the edge of the subducting tectonic plate descends as much as a few hundred miles down into the earth's mantle before melting and becoming part of the mantle.
Why siberia is the coldest placein northern hemisphere not north pole?
siberia is coldest place in northern hemisphere because it is near the coldest mountains.
Where are the 1 million volcanoes located on earth?
The number of volcanoes on Earth is nowhere near 1 million. There are about 1,500 active volcanoes on Earth, most of them near the boundaries of tectonic plates. About half of them are scattered along the rim of the Pacific Ocean.
Which volcanoes are located on hot spots?
Well... Volcano hotspots are mostly on the boarders of tectonic plates. A huge volcano hotspot is the pacific ring of fire.... which is in the pacific ocean where major tectonic plates meet. If you want to see some maps of where the pacific ring of fire is, just go to google images and search for the pacific ring of fire.
Where might magma rise to earth surface?
Near the tech-tonic plates of the earth.
Is the climate coldest near the poles or the equator?
It is the coldest near the poles and hottest near the equator.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earhquakes and volcanoes are typically found near the edges of tectonic plates.
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.
Why are the coldest places on earth found near the places?
The poles are the coldest places because of the Earth's tilt and the relative location of the sun. With less sunlight, they stay colder than the rest of the Earth. Since the Earth is more of a pear shape than a sphere, the area around the South Pole is larger than the area around the North Pole, making it distribute more of what sun does get there, making it even colder than the North Pole.

Why do faults often occur near near plate boundaries?
Faults occur near plate boundaries because the earth is weaker there... The magma under the Earth's crust makes the plates move very slowly and sometimes two plates can crash into each other causing the ground to shake.
Where is gabbro found on the earth?
Gabbrois found near and in volcanoes.
Where on earth do earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
Which is the coldest ocean?
The Arctic Ocean is the coldest as well as the smallest ocean.

Are there earthquakes near mountain systems?
Often, since moving Earth plates are what forms most mountains.
