Actually i found the answer. A lot of earths plates are found there and they rub against each other a causing earthquakes.

Where do volcanoes and earthquakes happen?

Earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and contiential plates.


Where does earthquakes happen on earth?

Earthquakes can occur along tectonic plate boundaries, where the plates are in motion and often collide or slide past one another. The most active areas for earthquakes are along the Pacific Ring of Fire and along mountain ranges like the Himalayas. However, earthquakes can also occur in areas where there are underground faults or volcanic activity.


Do earthquakes happen near the equator?

Yes, earthquakes can happen near the equator. The occurrence of earthquakes is not limited to specific regions and can happen anywhere along tectonic plate boundaries, including those near the equator. The factors that contribute to earthquakes, such as plate movement and interactions, can be present in equatorial regions.


Why don't earthquakes occur along the continents?

I Don't really know.... BUT Earthquakes happen when idiots poop in the ground.... TRUE STORY!


Where do most earthquakes and volcanoes happen in the ring of fire?

along the edge of the pacific plate


Do volcanoes and earthquakes happen in hot areas?

Not just in hot places. They can happen anywhere, but mostly along fault lines.


What is the relationship between the location of earthquakes volcanoes trenches and plate boundaries?

Most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen along the edges of the plates.


Why do earthquakes usually occur plate boundaries?

Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.


What are earthquakes. How do they occur?

earthquakes happen when sections of the earths crust shift.These shifting parts called plates,are actually pieces of the crust floating on the hot molten interior of the earth. The majority of earthquakes happen along the edges of those plates,and along weak areas of the crust called fault zones


How can studying plate tectonics and observing that earthquakes occur along these plate boundaries help people?

Studying plate tectonics and observing that earthquakes occur along these plates can help people so they have a better understanding of why earthquakes happen and how we can try and predict when one will happen by looking at past earthquakes to find out how they occured and which plate boundaries they occured to try and predict when and if one will happen again (also by looking at the movement of the plates).


Where does a earthquake happen?

Earthquakes occur all the time all over the world, both along plate edges and along faults.


What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?

If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
