Why do earthquakes occur in narrow belts?
Volcanoes occur in long, narrow belts because that's were the pate boundaries are.
Do volcanoes occur randomly over Earth's surface?
Volcanoes do not occur randomly over Earth's surface. They occur along the located mark of plate boundaries.
Where do the majority of the earthquakes in earth occur?
Along specific belts within the crust. You're welcome, sir.
Why do you think that earthquakes and volcanoes occur in these main geologically active zones?
As the old crust enters the mantle it brings volatiles such as water with it. This lowers the melting point of the rock around it.This melted material rises to the earths surface under pressure along with gases and may erupt in a volcano.
What surface features are present At the boundary of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates?
Faults occur.

What best describes the earths surface?
all ofthe changes on earth surface occur slowly
What can occur to earths surface as a result of plate tectonics?
they shake and crack it.
How can an earthquake change the earths surface?
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
Do the earthquakes appear to occur all over earths surface or only in isolated regions?
Earthquakes occur all over earths surface because isolated regions are ice and for example California is not ice it is heat
What three things occur when the sun's energy hits the earths surface?

Which changes occur in the composition of the earths layers from the surface to the core?
material is hotter and denser
What happens to earths surface as huge pieces of crust move?

Where do volcanos occur on Earths surface?
They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).
What parts of the Rock cycle occur at the Earth's surface?
Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
