Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
Do tectonic plates effect volcanoes and earthquakes?
There is an intricate set of techtonic plates that are located all over the earth. When volcanic eruptions occur then these plates can shift due to the excess pressure that the eruptions cause. This techtonic plate movement can then result in earthquakes.
Why does Korea have fewer earthquakes that japan?
Japan is located closer to tectonic plates in the ocean than Korea.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Can tree roots cause earthquakes?
No. Earthquakes are generally caused by the rubbing of two plates (tectonic plates).
How are eartquakes and volcanos realated?
earthquakes make volcanoes because of tectonic plates
Where are earthquakes manily located?
Earthquakes are usually located in between two tectonic plates.
What is seismology in the field of science?
Its the study of the movement of the earths tectonic plates, so to do with earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis etc. Its more geography really.

How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
Does Uranus have earthquake?
uranus is a gas giant. Gas giants lack the tectonic plates (rocky plates floating on top of a molten core) necessary to have earthquakes. Only rocky planets which have tectonic plates can have earthquakes.
The tectonic plates are located in a layer that is?
The tectonic plates are located in Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. Movements of these plates are responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shaping of Earth's surface features.
What are the plates called that make earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
Why are volcanoes typically located near medium and deep earthquakes?
because there by the edge of the tectonic plates.
Where are tectonic plates located?
Tectonic plates are located within the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. These plates float on top of the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement of these plates is responsible for various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
