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.

Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Do most earthquakes form in the us?
No, earthquakes form all around the world. They form on the edges of the tectonic plates
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earth's crust.?
Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults. Most earthquakes will occur near the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Is there is a recognizable pattern to where earthquakes seem to occur?
Earthquakes occur along fault lines and the edges of tectonic plates. These are areas where the earth's plates move against each other. When they slide past each other, earthquakes occur.
Is there a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Most volcanoes form along the edges of Earth's tectonic plates. Also most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes.
Why are the edges of plates so important to the cause and location of earthquakes?
I'm afraid I only know the cause. When the edges of the tectonic plates rub together it causes vibrations, that is the earthquake.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Where are the volcanoes and the earthquakes commonly situated?
Around the edges of tectonic plates.
What common natural disasters can occur along the edges of the tectonic plates?
Earthquakes!
Why are volcanoes usually found on edges of tectonic plates?
because they form from earthquakes
Why do earthquakes usually occur plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Do most earthquakes form in the us?
No, earthquakes form all around the world. They form on the edges of the tectonic plates
Can Scientists can identify where earthquakes will most likely occur?
They will happen around the edges of tectonic plates.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earhquakes and volcanoes are typically found near the edges of tectonic plates.
Why do Australia's neighbors experience more high magnitude earthquakes than Australia?
Australia is in the middle of a tectonic plate, and earthquakes happen at the edges of these plates.
