Why do earthquakes and volcanoes form a pattern around the earth?

They can create mountains (for example Yucca Mountain), canyons, and most commonly valleys. The reason why valleys are the most common landform is because if a volcano erupts many times over a period over time, valleys are usually formed- and thats the story for most volcanoes.

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.
Which two spheres of earth are the effects of volcanoes and earthquakes found?
stratosphere and hydrsphere
How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
Where do most earthquakes and volcanos occure?
they are formed along the crustal movements of the earth.
What does 6th grade earth science teach?
Earth's interior Plate Tectonics Earthquakes Volcanoes Minerals Rocks
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes produced at?
under the earth
What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the shaking of the earth. Both can cause damage.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands around the earth?
because the plates of earth is moving cause a big or small vibrate that cause earthquakes and cause a volcano to become active
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
Do Earthquakes and volcanoes appear all over the Earth's surface or only in certain places?
Volcanoes are just mostly in certain places and are not dotted around anywhere.
What is responsible for earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
high earth pressure
Why are volcanoes and earthquakes found together?
The majority of earth's volcanoes and earthquakes occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates. Therefore, an area that has volcanoes is likely to be prone to earthquake as well.
What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
What do scientist use to establish earthquakes and volcanoes?
The density of Earth's layers
What spheres of the Earth is most directly affected by earthquakes and volcanoes?
Lithosphere
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.
