What occurs at divergent boundaries and creates new seafloor?
At divergent plate boundaries the spreading of the tectonic plates results in the reduced pressure of the underlying magma. As the spreading continues, lava fills in the area of spreading and cools, becoming the newest addition to the seafloor. This process occurs at a steady rate ranging from a few centimeters to several centimeters of new sea floor each year. However, at a different location opposite the newly formed seafloor are convergent plate boundaries where land and seafloor is destroyed to make room for new seafloor.
Which of the following characteristics define a state?
"The" state or "a" state? The two are different. A state is a geographic division within the U.S. It has it's own separate laws from the federal gov. The state is another name for the federal government.
Describes the location of a place or an object?
It could be either absolute location or relative location, depending on how specific the description is. -or position
If location is a matter of place what is place a matter of?
C. where it is; what it is like

What relationship exists between the location of earthquakes and the location of volcanoes?
Both Volcanoes and earthquakes are located where plates of the earth's crust are coming together. This motion and interaction at the edges of the plates is called plate tectonics.
Who Compare the location of the majority of earthquakes epicenter with the location of thehe l location of volcanoes around the-world?
The majority of earthquakes and volcanoes are found along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly at convergent and divergent boundaries. For instance, the Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean, is a hotspot for both seismic activity and volcanic eruptions. This correlation occurs because the movement of tectonic plates can create stress that leads to earthquakes and can also facilitate magma movement, resulting in volcanic activity. Thus, areas with frequent earthquakes often coincide with locations of active volcanoes.
Do you find earthquakes or volcanoes in the Philippines?
Yes, the Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. The country is prone to both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location along tectonic plate boundaries.
Do volcanoes have a pattern to their location?
yes, they tend to be on plate boundaries :)
In which type of location is earthquakes risk the greatest?
at plate boundaries
How do volcanoes help to identify the location plates boundaries?
when the water gets hot
What is the relationship between the location of volcanoes and the earth's tectonic plates?
The locations of volcanoes related to plate boundaries are most volcanoes are located at either divergent or convergent plate boundaries, where plate motions provide the mechanisms to form magma. suck dicl
Explain how the boundaries of tectonic plates can be inferred from the location of earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes often occur at plate boundaries due to the movement and interactions of tectonic plates. By mapping the locations of these events, scientists can identify the boundaries between different plates. For example, earthquakes along a linear pattern called a seismic zone usually indicate a fault line where two plates are moving past each other. Similarly, volcanic arcs often form above subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another.
Where are most volcanoes and earthquakes located?
They both happen along the lithosphere (tectonic) plates. For Volcanoes- The Ring of Fire, which is where most of the volcanoes in the world happen, is along tectonic plate boundaries. For Earthquakes- Faults (cracks in the Earth's crust) form above the tectonic plates, and when the two plates of the fault slip, it releases energy, and causes an earthquake to happen.
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.
What makes the new Madrid earthquakes different than most other major earthquakes?
Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries, which was not true of the New Madrid earthquakes. It was an unusual earthquake because of its location, duration and intensity for that location.
Are there map location for plate boundaries?
Yes, plate boundaries can be mapped using tectonic plate maps that show the boundaries between various plates. These boundaries are typically identified based on geological features such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and the distribution of mountain ranges. Geologists and seismologists use these maps to better understand the dynamic interactions between tectonic plates.
