Volcanoes are located often near trenches because when two tectonic plates collide at a convergent boundary, the denser plate slides under the other plate. As the denser plate bends, a deep depression known as a trench forms. At a trench, one plate moves downward into the mantle. As the plate moves farther downward into Earth's mantle, the rock is subjected to greater heat and pressure. As a result, the plate releases fluids, which causes surrounding rock to melt. This as you know is a volcano.

Why are minerals located where there are volcanoes or trenches?
where are minerals located where thier are volcanoes or trenches
Why do so many of earths volcanoes occur along plate boundries?
Volcanoes occur near plate boudaries because volcanoes need water to erupt.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near the edges of the continents?
maybe
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.

they all occur along plate boundaries

Explain what plate tectonics and ocean trenches have in common?
Ocean trenches and volcanoes both occur where continental plates collide, or meet. An Ocean trench is also noted for the presence of a volcanic arc. This is right no joke:)

What two different types of convergent boundaries occur?
Type - SubductionFeature - Trenches or Volcanic mountainsType - CollisionFeature - Folded mountains
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near one another?
volcanoes form on hot spots (an area on a continential plate) so they are near each other <><><><><> They also form near edges of tectonic plates.
What explains location of mountain trenches and volcanoes?
i dont know so dont ask
Where do earthquakes and volcanes occur?
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.
