What else can I help you with?
Are volcanoes in the center of tectonic plates?
no
Why don't we have volcanoes in North America?
volcanoes usually form at the edges of tectonic plates, which is one of the reasons that there are many in the Ring Of Fire. North America is not really located at the edge of many plates so there are not that many volcanoes.
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.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
What types of volcanoes are formed at spreading centers?
Volcanoes at spreading centers is referred to as spreading center volcanism. This usually takes place on mid-oceanic ridges where the plates diverge.
Where are hot spot volcanoes located in relation on Earths plates?
In the center/middle of the plate.
Are volcanoes in the center of tectonic plates?
no
Where are volcanoes normally located?
Over tectonic plates.
Why are most volcanoes located by the ring of fire?
Because of the movement of tectonic plates.

Where are earthquakes usailly located?
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates
Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes

Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
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.
Why are most volcanoes located on the edges of continents?
because the crust is thinner and the techtonic plates meet.
