All countries are located on tectonic plates - in fact the world is entirely covered with tectonic plates! Where different plates interact with each other the results can affect the countries locally. Where plates push together you can get volcanoes and earthquakes (an example is Japan.) Where plates pull apart there is usually lots of ocean but you can get some calm volcanism, (an example being Iceland.) Where plates rub past one another there can be earthquakes. An example would be the west coast of the USA and the San Andreas Fault.)

What tectonic plates does the eyjafjallajokull sit on?
Eyjafjallajökull sits on the boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Iceland. The volcano is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a divergent boundary where the two plates are moving apart.
Where can you find the thickest part of tectonic plates?
The thickest part of tectonic plates is typically found near their centers, where the lithosphere is older and has had more time to accumulate material. This thicker part is known as the lithospheric mantle, which is located beneath the Earth's crust.
How are the location of earthquakes mountain ranges and volcanic activity related?
"Young" mountain ranges as well as earthquakes, volcanoes and tectonic plates tend to be located on or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Why do earthquakes seem common in some areas and rare on others?
Earthquakes occur more frequently in regions near tectonic plate boundaries where tectonic plates interact, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. In contrast, areas located in the middle of tectonic plates experience fewer earthquakes because there is generally less stress and movement along these interiors.
Countries that are found in volcanic areas are more to earthquakes?
Countries located in or near volcanic areas are more prone to earthquakes due to the movement of tectonic plates. The volcanic activity can also contribute to seismic activity in these regions. Additionally, the presence of magma chambers and the release of pressure during volcanic eruptions can further trigger earthquakes.
Are earthquakes and volcanos located near tectonic plates?
yes
Why are volcanoes typically located near medium and deep earthquakes?
because there by the edge of the tectonic plates.
What countries have valcanos?
You are able to find all types of volcanoes on, or near the tectonic plates but all have their own distinct area.
What is the name of the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa?
The Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate are the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa.
What five countries are on a edge of a tectonic plate?
Five countries located on the edges of tectonic plates include Japan, which sits on the Pacific Plate; Indonesia, on the boundary of several plates including the Indo-Australian Plate; Chile, along the Nazca Plate; Italy, near the convergence of the Eurasian and African Plates; and the United States, particularly along the Pacific Plate boundary in California. These locations are often associated with geological activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to their tectonic settings.
Are all tectonic plates located at earth's core?
No tectonic plates are in or even near the earth's core! The tectonic plates are fragments of the earth's crust. At subduction zones the edge of the subducting tectonic plate descends as much as a few hundred miles down into the earth's mantle before melting and becoming part of the mantle.
Where are earthquakes usailly located?
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates
What Tectonic plate is near New York?
New York is primarily located on the North American tectonic plate. This plate extends across much of North America and parts of the Atlantic Ocean. While it is not located near any major tectonic plate boundaries, the region does experience minor seismic activity due to stresses from surrounding plates, such as the Eurasian and South American plates.
What city is near or on the convergent boundary?
Istanbul, Turkey is located near a convergent boundary where the African and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. This location is known for its frequent seismic activity due to the ongoing convergence of these plates.
What is the name of the three tectonic plates that lie near Kobe?
The three tectonic plates near Kobe are the Eurasian Plate, the Philippine Sea Plate, and the Pacific Plate. These plates interact at the boundaries near Kobe, contributing to the region's seismic activity.
Where in the world are volcanoes more likely to form?
Near tectonic plates:)
Why does Japan have more earthquakes than Britain?
Because it is located near the ring of fire, therefore it is more exposed to the tension between the tetonic plates. (Most of the movement of the tectonic plates causes earthquakes)
