I think it's because when plate collide it makes a mountain and when plates rub it naked an earthquake so they're both on the plate line.

Are shallow earthquakes more destructive than deeper earthquakes of the same intensity?
Earthquakes that happen in shallow water cause tsunami and other side affects like landslides.
What is a positive effect of an earthquake?
Earthquakes relieve the tension building between tectonic plates. so, loads of small earthquakes lessen the chance that a massive earthquake will happen along the same plate boundary.
Is there a relationship between earthquake locations and mountain ranges?
No it can't because the formation is not the same as the others but it can be linked to block mountains and formed as a volcanoes. But others say it is possiable for it to happen and many say it can't but scientist say that some people discovered that their theory is acatuall right and the others are stupid
Why are many volcanoes found in the same areas that earthquakes occur?
Movement of high pressure magma underground typically occurs before a volcanic eruption. This magma is under such a high pressure that it can cause hydraulic fracturing of the surrounding rocks and even bulging of the crust. Both these events will release seismic waves (cause earthquakes). All these data help geologists predict that an eruption is about to occur.
Can a earthquack happen more than once at the same place?
Yes, Honshu[Japan], Mexico, Alaska and Indonasia are the places where earthquack happen more than one or two times.
Where are earthquakes usailly located?
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates
Do volcanoes happen in the same place?
No, volcanoes don't occur in the same place because there was a volcano in Hawaii and maybe somewhere in Asia.
Do volcanoes always happen in the same places?
No they can happen any where. plates slide and create one.
Why does volcanoes and earthquake happen mostly in the same place?
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.

How are volcanoes and earthquakes the same?
Earthquakes and volcanoes can both make the ground shake. Both of these natural disasters also cause an extreme amount of damage. A volcano is different from an earthquake in the fact that they produce lava.
Do tectonic plates cause earthquakes and volcanoes to happen for the same reason?
The movement of tectonic plates are almost always the cause for earthquakes and volcanoes, although the actual quake or eruption may occur long after the underlying movement. Earthquakes are sudden shifts in the crust, when built-up stress along rock faults is released. The magma for volcanoes is formed of rocks that melt when they are pushed deeper into the Earth by tectonic forces.
Do earthquakes and volcanoes alwyas occur at the same time?
sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Which best describes a major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes?
They are located in the same geographic region
Why are earthquakes mountains and volcanoes in the same classification?
They are all natural things caused by tectonic plates
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes happen mostly in the same place?
Seismic activity triggers both earthquakes and volcano eruptions, so usually both happen along fault lines, which cause seismic activity. Answer 2: They occur in similar areas because of plate tectonics, (plates of the lithosphere). Since they move, when they crash together they cause earthquakes and create volcanoes, when the plates slide past each other they cause lots of earthquakes, and when they move apart magma from the earth's core creates a volcano and earthquakes happen along the fault lines.
