Want this question answered?
Earthquakes occur when two plates that were pushing against each other slip apart and all the pressure gets released causing the earthquake. And idk about volcanoes
Volcanoes and earthquakes are usually found along plate boundaries because the constant movement allows for lava to flow through easier, and causes release in tension from an earthquake.
Usually none. Only earthquakes are frequent on transform boundaries since transform boundaries appear mostly in the ocean. Transform boundaries, like the San Andreas Fault, usually only produce Earthquakes. However, there are often volcanoes AT transform boundaries (like the Long Valley Caldera) as a result of shearing and the thin surface that results from California's nearby divergent boundary that allows magma to inch much closer to the surface.
They are most likely to occur at transform boundaries.
earthquakes usually occur at tectonic plate boundaries
The edges are where the plate boundaries (usually) meet.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
The edge of the Pacific plate is known as the "Ring of Fire" because it has very high concentrations of earthquakes and volcanoes. However, most plate boundaries are capable of producing earthquakes and volcanoes at least occasionally.

Volcanoes usually form on plate boundaries. They form because the plates push upward against each other forming a small hole where magma can come out from the mantle. (the small hole is the where the magma comes out of on top of a volcano). Earthquakes usually are at faults lines and fault lines are near the plate boundaries. Since volcanoes and earthquakes happen usually at plate boundaries, they mostly happen in the same area.

The plate boundaries that have the largest magnitude earthquakes are convergent plates. Convergent plates are moving together and eventually collide. These plates are usually along the edge of an ocean and next to a continent.

mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
