Describe the distribution of earthquakes volcanoes and fold mountains in relation to plate margins?
The distribution of volcanoes is worldwide, although they are usually perceived to only occur on Plate Boundaries (PBs). However this is not always the case. Sometimes they can occur on faults or ancient faults like Mount Etna, which is still active because the fault line it used to lie on still provides it with magma. Volcanoes can also be present at hotspots, for example, the volcanic Hawaiian Islands. However the largest and most lethal volcanoes are primarily on PBs, sometimes concentrated in a certain area, like the "Ring of fire" on the borders between the Pacific plate and the surrounding plates. These volcanoes often due to spreading ridges, causing gaps through which magma flows up. Volcanoes in this area usually follow earthquakes, which are even more frequent there than on faults

Uneven distribution
Why are volcanoes in areas prone to earthquakes?
Because of pressure. The best way I can describe it is... shake up a bottle of soda. When the cap is on and you haven't damaged the integrity of the cap, its fine. If you put just one tiny crack in that cap, you've got one heck of a soda mess to clean up. Earthquakes put cracks in the caps of volcanoes.

What word starts with a y that is related to an earthquake?
The word is "seismicity," which refers to the frequency, distribution, and intensity of earthquakes in a specific area. It is used by geologists and seismologists to describe the seismic activity of a region.
