Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur in certain areas of the earth?

The Earth is made up of 7 shields or islands if you like that float around grinding and bumping into each other all the time settling and building up pressure. the worst areas for earthquakes and volcanoes is near the edges of these shields where all the movement is.

β 14y agoAs students learn to read maps, it is important that they learn how to compare maps that show different types of information. This lesson asks them to compare maps of plate tectonics with population density maps and to analyze what these maps imply about the relationship between population and seismic hazards

β 14y agoThey happen in certain areas that are near or on a tectonic plate. When the plates slide past each other, an earthquake occurs. Volcanoes form on tectonic plates when the liquid rock underneath the plates rises up through the cracks.

β 14y agoearthquake happens normally along the plate boundaries because the plates are moving towards each other or moving apart from each other.earthquake may take place in certain places where active hot spot are present and also due to the high pressure of water in reservoir in dam sites earthquake may happen.

β 13y agoThey happen at certain areas because of the plates under the Earth.

β 13y agoThere are tectonic plates underneath those places which cause earthquakes to happen

β 11y agobecause the volcanoes are in a place called the ring of fire and the quakes are on faults or fissures in the earth's crust

β 11y agoI would say based on my opinion because some areas have tectonic plates meet and either converge diverge slide past each other.

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.
Is there a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Most volcanoes form along the edges of Earth's tectonic plates. Also most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes.
Which two spheres of earth are the effects of volcanoes and earthquakes found?
stratosphere and hydrsphere
How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
Where do most earthquakes and volcanos occure?
they are formed along the crustal movements of the earth.
Do Earthquakes and volcanoes appear all over the Earth's surface or only in certain places?
Volcanoes are just mostly in certain places and are not dotted around anywhere.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes produced at?
under the earth
What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the shaking of the earth. Both can cause damage.
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.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the ring of fire?
This is where the fault lines of the North American and Pacific plate meet, an areas where there is lots of earthquakes, tsunamis (caused by quakes) and volcanoes. Underneath these cracks in the Earth is magma (lava inside the earth), every once in a while, this magma will come to the surface and form volcanoes. and that is basically itUser:Hectoria29
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
What events happen at a convergent continental continental boundary?
For a variety of reasons, the majority of the earth's most violent earthquakes and volcanoes occur in these areas
What is responsible for earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
high earth pressure
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.
What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
What do scientist use to establish earthquakes and volcanoes?
The density of Earth's layers
