What else can I help you with?
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
What energy transfers occur in volcanoes and earthquakes?
by killing people
Why do earthquakes occur in narrow belts?
Volcanoes occur in long, narrow belts because that's were the pate boundaries are.
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
Where do earthquakes and volcanos occur?
Volcanoes tend to form at convergent tectonic plate boundaries where subduction is occurring (such as the western coast of South America) and at divergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates are moving apart (e.g. the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge and Iceland). Earthquakes also occur at convergent boundaries and in fact these tend to cause the strongest earthquakes. Earthquakes also occur at transform boundaries (such as the San Andreas fault) however these do not tend to cause the formation of volcanoes. So to find volcanoes and large earthquakes you should be looking at convergent plate boundaries where subduction is occurring.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
Why do earthquakes occur at volcanoes?
To release pressure.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where the movement of the plates causes stress and forces to build up. These boundaries are classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, each with distinct seismic and volcanic activity associated with their movements.
What is the name of the location where volcanoes and earthquakes occur most frequently?
Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur at tectonic plate boundaries called fault lines.The US Geological suvey has quite a nice website entitled "This Dynamic Earth" which will probably answer any more specific questions.http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/dynamic.html
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.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur frequently in japan?
Because of it's location directly on what vulcanologist call the "Pacific ring of fire", a high volcanism and earthquake area.
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes occur on plate boundries?
earthquakes occur because plates move and they over lap causing an earthquake.
What energy transfers occur in volcanoes and earthquakes?
by killing people
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines
