What ocean has a ring of volcanoes and earthquakes around it?
Pacific Ocean
Where do most earthquakes and volcanoes happen in the ring of fire?
along the edge of the pacific plate
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Why does Japan have so many earthquakes and volcanoes?
japan has earthquakes and volcanoes because the Pacific and Philipines plates underneath the Eurasian platesare losing water to the mantle rocks as they go down. it cause the mantle rock to melt, it form volcanoes from magma. the earthquakes are caused by plates scraping against each other.
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
What plates do earthquakes and volcanoes usually occur at?
The edge of the Pacific plate is known as the "Ring of Fire" because it has very high concentrations of earthquakes and volcanoes. However, most plate boundaries are capable of producing earthquakes and volcanoes at least occasionally.
What ocean has a line of earthquakes and volcanoes around it?
Pacific
Do you find earthquakes or volcanoes in the Philippines?
of course...we have volcanoes and we are located at the Pacific Ring of Fire
What ocean has a ring of volcanoes and earthquakes around it?
Pacific Ocean
Zone of earthquakes and volcanoes surrounding the pacific ocean?
The Ring of Fire
Why are there earthquakes in the region of pacific plate and north America plan despite the absence of volcanoes?
The Pacific plate is sliding past the North American plate.Both move in same direction, but the Pacific plate is moving faster.The result is earthquakes now and then-but no volcanoes.
Japan is located in an area with active volcanoes and earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean known as the?
The Pacific ring of fire.
What zone of earthquakes and volcanoes surrounding the pacific ocean?
The Ring of Fire
Where in the world are earthquakes more common?
Earthquakes are most common where plates of the crusts collide or separate and especially in the Pacific ring of fire. The pacific ring of fire is a chain of volcanoes and earthquakes along the edges of the Pacific ocean.
What are volcanoes and earthquakes likely to occur?
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
In what area of the world are Earthquakes most common?
Earthquakes are most common where plates of the crusts collide or separate and especially in the Pacific ring of fire. The pacific ring of fire is a chain of volcanoes and earthquakes along the edges of the Pacific ocean.
On what plate do most earthquakes occur?
In the pacific plate. Mostly around the area known as the Pacific Ring of Fore. 70% of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes happen in the Pacific Ring of Fire which is located in the Pacific Plate.
