False. When plates give way in this manner the result is an earthquake. Volcanoes are produced by different but related processes.

Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?

Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.


Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?

all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
