Which country is known as country of earthquakes and volcanoes?

Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.


What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?

mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.


How are earthquakes eruptions different from volcanoes?

Earthquakes do not exactly erupt. Earthquakes are caused by the movement the Earth's tectonic plates. Yes, Earthquakes can contribute to the eruptions of Volcanoes because when one plate goes under the other water could be taken with it down into the Mantle. The water and sometimes air when is in the mantle is forced to find an exit and those exits are Volcanoes. When they go into the Volcano pressure builds up and the Volcano erupts. So really Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the Earths tectonic plates while Volcanoes are caused by a build up of pressure in the Earths Mantle.


How does plate tectonics affect the mantle?

Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.


How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?

alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.

What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?

Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.


How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?

Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.

Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?

Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.

Why do you think scientists study earths interior?

Scientists study Earth's interior to better understand the planet's composition, structure, and dynamics. This helps in predicting natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as in understanding processes like plate tectonics and magnetic field generation. Studying the Earth's interior also provides insights into the planet's history and evolution.
