Earthquakes are caused by transform plates, which are two plates sliding past each other.

Volcanoes are caused by convergent plates, which is when crust is consumed.

Mountains are caused by collisional plates, which is when two land masses collide.

the tectonic plates collide and the ground (earth) pushes upwards and the molten rock pushes up too and causes a volcano to form

Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?

Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.


Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?

along plate boundaries


What might occur as a result of plate boundaries?

volcanoes earthquakes and a fault


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 volcanoes and mountains occur along?

Along the tectonic plate boundaries.


Where do most earthquakes and volcanos occure?

they are formed along the crustal movements of the earth.


What are the belts called that most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on?

Earthquakes and volcanoes often occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates. These boundaries are known as plate boundaries or fault lines. The most active areas for earthquakes and volcanoes are the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where new oceanic crust is formed.


Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?

No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.


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 plate boundary do earthquakes occur?

Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.


What pattern do you see among plates boundaries earthquakes and volcanoes?

most earthquakes occur at the plate boundaries because the plate boundaries are the weakest zones and earthquakes are likely to occur there . you can also take help from science ncert of 8 class.
