Volcanoes and earthquakes happen when there are tectonic plates below them.
The tectonic plates gradually move and might slip after a while. That is when you get an earthquake.
A volcano happens when the tectonic plates rub and they get pushed up or down. Malten rock then finds its way through gaps and creates a volcano.

∙ 8y agoEarthquakes are caused by the movement of the tectonic plates underneath Earths surface.
Volcanic eruptions only happen in certain places because they only form on the plate boundaries where there is a subduction boundary.

How many earthquakes happen in one minute?
yes there are earthequakes occuring every single minute or even every couple of seconds ,there are earthquakes that you can't even feel and probably wont even know about which do not cause any damage , however there are earthquakes that are average wich cause a bit of damage .Also earthquakes such as the one that occured in japan a couple of years ago cause hell lot of damage as you probably would know ,but dont worry as them earthquakes dont happen often.
What are names of cinder cone volcanoes?
mokajava, kolasera, and faugcjk
What are fault boundaries?
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.
What are the disadvantages of living near a volcano?
When the volcano erupts it can do many things such as: -Kill people -Destroy crops and plantation -Suffocate people from the ashes Take Pompeii for example. When the volcano near Pompeii exploded, no one had had any idea that would happen! So therefore, when it did, no one was prepared for it. After the eruption, the city was covered in mud and ash. Scientists only found the bodies and remains of/in the city years and years later. The ash from a volcano can suffocate people and the lava can burn people. Volcanoes can also cause earthquakes. But, volcanoes do provide a lot of good things, such as Geothermal heat, nutrients (from the ashes) that are good for the ground, and tourism. It is also beautiful to watch a volcano to explode from a distance away. But is the earthquakes is very bad ? yes it is because is people how now when earthquakes start but lots of people go to die because earthquakes and lavas is very strong By Em Cooper
If you dont have gas in your car what will happen if you start it?
It will not start ???????
Where in the US do earthquakes happen?
Nevada has the fourth highest number of earthquakes per year after Alaska, California, and Hawaii. They happen in many other places as well but sometimes you just dont feel it. In fact, even NY have earthquakes but they are soooooooooo little. You can barely tell...
Why do some areas have no volcanoes?
becuase volcanoes have plates under them.the places that dont have plates under them don't have volcanoes
Where are active volcanoes not found?
they are found in most places in the world so their aren't many places in the world that dont have any.
Do earthquakes happen in same or different places?
Yes volcanoes generally erupt and form on the Borders between tectonic plates under the earths surface, as the route between the earths core and the surface is weaker on these lines. Same with earthquakes, this is when the tectonic plates move or shift against one another
Where in the world do earthquakes and volcanoes happen?
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.

Does Saturn have volcanoes or rings?
saturn has rings they dont have volcanoes
Does the moon Leda have volcanoes?
dont have
How do the Chinese signal earthquakes?
i dont no
Why dont earthquakes happen everywhere at once?
Earthquakes occur on fault lines, which aren't everywhere on Earth. The vibrations from any one quake actually propagate throughout MOST of the Earth's crust, but not with any damaging force.
Do volcnoes make new volcanoes?
No they dont
