volcanoes because you can't fix the damages and they appear less

if you look on the damage and the lives at stake, it will be earthquake. first of all, no one knows when an earthquake will occur so people are caught off guard during earthquakes and so many casualties wherein volcanic eruption gives signals before it explodes so people near the volcano can evacuate. second, volcanic eruption affects mostly within 5 kilometer distance from the volcano in contrast to earthquakes that affects cities or sometimes countries. lastly when a volcano under the ocean erupts there are no damages to human but when an earthquake occurs under the ocean and somewhat strong, this will cause tsunamis that are very destructive and may affect not only neighboring countries but even countries far from each other just like what happened during the boxing day tsunami that killed a lot of people from Thailand, Bangladesh and even India.

Are active volcanoes and earthquake epicenters near each other?

Yes, active volcanoes and earthquake epicenters can often be found near each other because they both occur at tectonic plate boundaries where there is significant geologic activity. Volcanoes are often associated with subduction zones and divergent boundaries, where earthquakes are also common due to intense tectonic activity.


How will you relate the distrebution of mountain ranges witrh distrebution of earthquake epicenter and volcanoes?

Mountain ranges are often formed by tectonic plate movements that can also cause earthquakes and volcanic activity. Thus, areas with prominent mountain ranges are more likely to have earthquake epicenters and volcanoes due to the tectonic forces at work. The distribution of mountain ranges can serve as an indication of potential earthquake and volcanic activity in a region.


Compare the locations of majority of earthquake epicenter with the location of volcanoes around thlde wor?

The majority of earthquake epicenters occur along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. Volcanoes are also typically found along these boundaries; however, they can also occur in hotspot regions like Hawaii. Both earthquakes and volcanoes are related to tectonic activity and the movement of Earth's crustal plates.

Does a lahar come out of an earthquake?

No. Lahars are mudflows that are produced by volcanoes.


Can volcanoes form because of an earthquake?

Not really. Earthquakes can and do occur when a volcano is forming, but the volcano is not a result of an earthquake. Volcanoes are formed when magma (molten rock) within the earth's crust reaches the surface.

Why are volcanoes and earthquakes found together?

The majority of earth's volcanoes and earthquakes occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates. Therefore, an area that has volcanoes is likely to be prone to earthquake as well.
