Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
How can you know the location and kinds of plate boundaries on earth and is there a plate boundary on earth and is there a plate boundary near out area?
You know the location of a plate boundary by how the rocks and other geological features are in a curtain area, for example earthquakes and volcanoes are very common near a boundary. We can tell what kind of boundary it is by the way the ground is moving, if the ground is moving away from the boundary it is most likely a divergent boundary, and if the ground is moving towards the boundary it is likely to be a convergent. I hope that helped
Where do earthquakes occur the most - near plate boundaries or far away from plate boundaries?
Near plate boundaries. (Thank you teacher for explaining)
Earthquakes are most likely to occur near?
Tectonic Plate boundaries.
Do earthquakes happen near the equator?
Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere, but they are most likely at the plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary do most earthquakes occur near to or along?
they occur at transform boundaries
Can Italy get earthquakes?
Yes. Italy is near the plate boundary where the African Plate subducts under the Eurasian Plate, making it very prone to earthquakes.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
Which natural disaster is gurgaon most vulnerable to?
As per my thinking , it may be vulnerable to Earthquakes as a plate boundary crosses near it.
Do earthquakes happen in Seattle WA?
Yes. The state of Washington is near a major plate boundary.

Why does Britain not get effected by earthquakes?
Britain is effected by earthquakes. However because Britain is not near a tectonic plate boundary, the earthquakes that occur tend to be low in magnitude.
Why does the risk of earthquakes vary across the US?
Earthquakes tend to occur most often at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates. One such boundary runs along the coast of the Western United States all the way from the bottom of California to Alaska. So places near this boundary are at the highest risk of earthquakes. As you move further east, you move further away from this tectonic plate boundary so the risk of earthquakes goes down (although they can still happen).
Why does New York not have earthquakes like California?
California is on a tectonic plate boundary. When the plates move past each other, an earthquake happens. There is no boundary running through New York.
Why is japan particularly susceptible to earthquakes and volcanoss?
Because it is situated near a convergent plate boundary, which forms a subduction zone.
Were do earthquakes mostly happen?
Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries.
Most earthquakes happen-?
Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
