Is this statement true or false A large number of volcanoes and earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire because several faults exist at plate boundaries in this region.?
c
Why are large magnitude earthquakes infrequent?
Large earthquakes release a lot of energy, and it takes a long time for this energy to build up in faults, so they don't occur that often.
Why earthquakes often occur at the tectonic plate boundaries?
Earthquakes occur along faults, where two blocks for rock move against one another. The blocks snag on one another, build up stress, and then release it as an earthquake. Most active faults are found at or near plate boundaries, where two large segments of the crust move past each other. The relatively large amount of movement and stress compared to intraplate settings means there are more and larger faults, which leads to more frequent and stronger earthquakes.
What two large plains regions are located in Argentina?
The Pampas and the Floodplains.
Where do strike slip faults occur?
We can find strike slip fault between two tectonic plates. For exemple; San Andreas fault in California is a strike slip fault and represent the limit between America plate and Pacifique plate. These two plates move with an inverse movement(~1 towards the north and ~1 toward the south). But we can also find this kind of fault in other context like in a colision.
Places where large number of faults are located?
Tectonic Plate boundaries
Places where a large number of faults are located are what?
Normally near the regions where plates touch.
what Places are where a large number of faults are located?
Normally near the regions where plates touch.
What are the places where there are large number of faults called?
In the US they are everywhere in California because that is where the egde of a tectonic plate is. The biggest is San Andreas Fault near San Francisco.

How are faults and earthquakes are related?
The are both related to the movement of tectonic plates.
Where can I rent party supplies?
Depending on where you are located, there should be a number of places to rent party supplies. Try Party City first, they have a large selection and good prices.

Does all motion along large faults occur in the form of destructive earthquakes?
No, all motion along the faults can also occur in the form of a tsunami
