What else can I help you with?
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
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 are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes?
around plate boundries.
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.
Do earthquakes happen everywhere volcanoes are?
They do occur where volcanoes are, but it is not because of the volcanoes itself. It is because under the earth's surface there are tectonic plates (plates that make up the earth's crust) that shift, and occasionally collide into one another. This is what causes the ground to shake. This shaking is what we interpret as earthquakes.
Where is most earthquakes and volcanoes located?
the ring of fire
Where are most volcanoes and earthquakes located?
They both happen along the lithosphere (tectonic) plates. For Volcanoes- The Ring of Fire, which is where most of the volcanoes in the world happen, is along tectonic plate boundaries. For Earthquakes- Faults (cracks in the Earth's crust) form above the tectonic plates, and when the two plates of the fault slip, it releases energy, and causes an earthquake to happen.
Are most earthquakes located near the edges or near the center of the continents?
Most earthquakes and volcanoes are on the Pacific rim of fire.
What percentage of active volcanoes are found in the Ring of Fire?
most of the earthquakes in the world happen near the Ring of Fire since most earthquakes happen where two tectonic plates meet
In the ring of fire what do you find there?
most likley volcanoes and somtimes even earthquakes
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.
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.
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.
How many earthquakes happen in the middle of a plate?
Earthquakes hardly ever happen in the middle of plates because the is no fault-line to move. The most common earthquakes in the middle of plates are because of Volcanoes.
Why are there more volcanoes in the ring of fire than anywhere on earth?
Because that's were the most earthquakes occur
Does Hawaii have the most earthquakes and volcanoes in the United States?
Yes, Hawaii has the most earthquakes and volcanoes in the US.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
