Scotland does have minor earthquakes. They have had 10 earthquakes since the 21st of August, with a small swarm occurring on the 21st and 22nd. The largest of these earthquakes was a magnitude 2.9 on the 21st.
The UK as a whole tends to record around 2-300 earthquakes per year.
There was an earthquake in 1508 that could have been as large as a magnitude 7.0 with an epicenter in North West Scotland.
Scotland currently has no dormant or active volcanoes. Most volcanoes and earthquakes occurs at tectonic plate boundaries.
A search of Scotland volcano or Scotland earthquakes will give you lots of information about the history of Scotland's seismic activity.

∙ 11y agoOhio was once a hotbed of volcanic activity, back in the Ordovician period. However, there are no current active volcanoes.
Ohio is subject to earthquakes. Again, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources has free information for the public on the topic. Find a great map that shows the locations of all the recorded earthquakes in Ohio with their dates and magnitudes at the link below.

∙ 7y agoTsunamis are very rare along the U.S. east coast because, unlike the Pacific Ocean, very little of the Atlantic Ocean is bordered by subduction zones. A subduction zone is an area where a plate of oceanic crust slides under another plate and into the mantle. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes at subduction zones.

What are the natural disasters in Norway?
In Iceland, they have a lot of volcano's so most of the disasters are from volcanic eruptions. They also have earthquakes but not as often but when they come they can be pretty powerful. Other than that, there arent as many records of other natural disaters.
What can you conclude about the relationship between volcanoes and plate boundaries?
More volcanoes at plate boundaries b/c its thinner there and magma is able to push up more easily.its actually because plate boundaries are constantly moving and whe they diverge (move apart) it gives the magma a chance to arise and form a volcano. they could also converge (crash into eachother) and the denser plate subducts (sinks underneath) and when this happens, its causes friction, then cracks an the magma rises through those cracks and onto the surface. The random volcanoes that arent on a plate boundary are caused by hotspots. this is where the magma is unusually hot underneath one part of the mantle and starts to melt it away and it pushes through.hope this was morehelpful :)

they arent related!
Why are earthquakes rare occurrences in Virginia?
Earthquakes are a rare occurance in virginia because there arent as many tectonic plates in our area
Why arent there any active volcanoes in the central part of the United State?
because central places inn the united states not close to the ocean which builds up volcanoes by pushing them up on the ocean floor to form a volcano.

Where was the 2 last earthquakes took place?
Chile and haiti Japan had the last major earthquake heard about worldwide. But earthquakes happen every second all over the earth. Some arent strong enough to feel or even make the scale, while others are major ones, like the earthquake in Japan.
Where do vocanoes form and why?
Volcanoes usually form between tectonic plates in the earth's crust. Hot molten rock beneath the surface gets pushed up as these plates move, and sometimes large rock formations will form. Volcanoes can form in places that arent on the edge of tectonic plates, however, but the Ring of Fire is where most of the earths volcanoes are concentrated, around the Pacific, North American, and South American plates.
