The earthquake activity of numerous volcanoes is closely monitored to provide warning signs of an imminent eruption. Large volcanic eruptions, especially the explosive type, can release huge amounts of energy that can be recorded by seismographs even far from the source.

Recent volcanic activity in Canada has been experienced in BC and the Yukon. Worldwide, the majority of volcanoes and earthquakes are located in the same areas. This relationship is explained through a geological model called plate tectonics.

When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.


Is there a relationship between movement and distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes?

Volcanoes don't move. Earthquakes move tectonic plates, and are then pronounced "earthquakes". So, no, I'm pretty sure there isn't.


Is there a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?

Most volcanoes form along the edges of Earth's tectonic plates. Also most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes.


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.


What is the relationship of earthquakes and volcanoes?

They both create destruction.


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.


What is the relationship between earthquakes and tornadoes?

There is no relationship between tornadoes and earthquakes.


What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?

Earthquakes and volcanoes are related because they can both be caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Volcanic activity can generate earthquakes as magma rises through the Earth's crust, and conversely, earthquakes can trigger volcanic eruptions by creating pathways for magma to reach the surface.


What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?

Volcanoes and earthquakes are often found along tectonic plate boundaries where there are faults. In the case of volcanoes, they can form at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced below another. Earthquakes occur along faults, which are fractures in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates move past each other.

Connection between earthquakes and volcanos?

One connection between earthquakes and volcanoes is that they all have to do with Plate Tectionics and they destroy things
