The Earth is made up of 7 shields or islands if you like that float around grinding and bumping into each other all the time settling and building up pressure. the worst areas for earthquakes and volcanoes is near the edges of these shields where all the movement is.

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.


Where are earthquakes and volcanoes produced at?

under the earth


Do earthquakes explode like volcanoes?

No, earthquakes and volcanoes are different geological events. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, while volcanoes erupt due to magma or gas buildup beneath the Earth's crust. While both can cause destruction, earthquakes do not explode like volcanoes.


Where do earthquakes and volcanoes mostly frequently occur?

Underground Earthquakes occur along fault lines. Volcanoes are all over the world but a good place to find one is in the Ring of Fire.


Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the ring of fire?

This is where the fault lines of the North American and Pacific plate meet, an areas where there is lots of earthquakes, tsunamis (caused by quakes) and volcanoes. Underneath these cracks in the Earth is magma (lava inside the earth), every once in a while, this magma will come to the surface and form volcanoes. and that is basically itUser:Hectoria29


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.


What events happen at a convergent continental continental boundary?

For a variety of reasons, the majority of the earth's most violent earthquakes and volcanoes occur in these areas


What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?

Earthquakes and volcanoes are related because they can both be caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Volcanic activity can generate earthquakes as magma rises through the Earth's crust, and conversely, earthquakes can trigger volcanic eruptions by creating pathways for magma to reach the surface.


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.
