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.

∙ 11y agoyes! it can effect volcanoes and earthquakes because of the sudden movements of the earths crust

∙ 14y agoThe tectonic plates move the plate boundaries and depending on the boundaries it pulls apart a part of earth which makes earthquakes, and volcanos to errupt to make more land from open split

Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
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.
Is there a relationship between movement and distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Volcanoes don't move. Earthquakes move tectonic plates, and are then pronounced "earthquakes". So, no, I'm pretty sure there isn't.
What causes earthquakes at the edges of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes are mostly found at the edges of plates because that is the area of which the plates collide in different ways resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
How volcanoes and earthquakes happen?
something about tectonic plates.....
What occurs at the edge of tectonic plates?
Scientists observed that volcanoes and earthquakes occur at the edge of tectonic plates.
Are volcanoes and earthquakes manmade?
No. They are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
Does the volcanoes and earthquakes happen where tectonic plates meet?
yes
Why did earthquakes and volcanoes happen?
Tectonic Plates are moving in all directions...
Where are the volcanoes and the earthquakes commonly situated?
Around the edges of tectonic plates.
Explain how the boundaries of tectonic plates can be inferred from the location of earthquakes and volcanoes?
no
Do earthquakes and volcanoes strike in heavily populated areas?
not necessarily, they strike on the fault lines of tectonic plates, when the plates bump into each other, they create volcanoes or earthquakes
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
How are eartquakes and volcanos realated?
earthquakes make volcanoes because of tectonic plates
