The reason this occurs is because of subduction. The heat of the plates rubbing causes magma to rise forcing through the lithosphere (or crust). Thus causing alot of volcanos over convergent plates.
Fault boundaries are the places where two tectonic plates (sections of the earth's crust) meet. Because of the movement of the plates against one another, fault boundaries are the locations where most earthquakes occur.
I think you mean when. Earthquakes are made by two plates in the ground moving against each other. Its it to predict where because if you are near a plate boundaries (where two plates meet) then it is more likely for an earthquake to occur.
There is a region called the Pacific Ring of Fire, which bounds the entire Pacific Ocean with active convergent tectonic plates that has most of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes.It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes.
they tend to occur between two plate tectonics.As well, by studying the magnitude of their shockwaves from different distances and locations, the direction of the force waves can be traced back to where the meet at the origin of the earthquake.
places where 2 or more plates meet & another shorter earthquake can come there after a shorter period of time. so be outside of ur houses.. :)
Yes. That is where most volcanoes occur.
They usually occur in places where two plates meet- faults.
Fault boundaries are the places where two tectonic plates (sections of the earth's crust) meet. Because of the movement of the plates against one another, fault boundaries are the locations where most earthquakes occur.
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
Volcanoes often occur where tectonic plates meet.
The most recent earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. Earthquakes are more likely to occur in areas where tectonic plates meet, leading to increased seismic activity due to the movement of plates.
Yes, tectonic plates meet at their boundaries, where most earthquakes occur due to the movement and interaction of the plates. The two main types of plate boundaries that are associated with frequent seismic activity are transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other, and convergent boundaries, where plates collide or move towards each other.
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Earthquakes occur when a shift in the earth's crust causes tremors to rock the surface of the earth around the shift. Since the Earth's crust is divided into different plates, and these plates move around (very slowly) on the earth, there are earthquakes. Also, since there are different parts that the plates meet at, there are certain "hotspots" where more earthquakes happen (where the plates meet).
that's what ive heard
Yes, faults are breaks in the Earth's crust where plates meet. These breaks allow movement to occur along the plate boundaries, resulting in earthquakes as the plates slide past each other.
The place where tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. These boundaries can be categorized as convergent, divergent, or transform, depending on how the plates are interacting with each other.
