they do but the shock waves which follow go wherever they like.
Earthquakes do occur along plate boundaries, but the movement of the plates is not uniform, causing stress to accumulate in areas off the main boundary lines. This stress can result in earthquakes happening slightly away from the boundaries in what are known as intraplate earthquakes. Additionally, faults within the plates can also generate earthquakes.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
Plate Boundaries
Plate boundaries are the absolute edges of the tectonic plates that make up our earth's crust. These plate boundaries clash with others making what are known as fault lines, which are the cause of earthquakes.
Earthquakes and volcanoes often occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates. These boundaries are known as plate boundaries or fault lines. The most active areas for earthquakes and volcanoes are the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where new oceanic crust is formed.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Its because the plate boundaries collide with eachother causing the earth to shake.
Volcanoes
by mountains . (:
hi
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.
