Yes. A good example of a tectonic plate boundary where there is active volcanism and seismicity (earthquakes) is the western coast of the South American continent which forms a boundary where the Nazca plate is being subducted under the South American plate which has created the volcanoes within the Andes mountain range as well as some of the worlds largest earthquakes.
What else can I help you with?
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes happen mostly in the same place?
Seismic activity triggers both earthquakes and volcano eruptions, so usually both happen along fault lines, which cause seismic activity. Answer 2: They occur in similar areas because of plate tectonics, (plates of the lithosphere). Since they move, when they crash together they cause earthquakes and create volcanoes, when the plates slide past each other they cause lots of earthquakes, and when they move apart magma from the earth's core creates a volcano and earthquakes happen along the fault lines. See http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/msese/earthsysflr/plates1.html for more info.
How are volcanoes and earthquakes the same?
Earthquakes and volcanoes can both make the ground shake. Both of these natural disasters also cause an extreme amount of damage. A volcano is different from an earthquake in the fact that they produce lava.
What Type of plate boundary exists between Indian and Asia?
A Collision plate boundary, where two continental plates that are the same in density and thickness, push against each other forming fold mountains and crumble zones. This causes Earthquakes from the pressure and stress but not volcanoes.
What you can infer about the relationship between earthquake and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are often related because they both result from the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Earthquakes can be triggered by volcanic activity, and volcanic eruptions can also cause earthquakes. Additionally, the same tectonic forces that lead to earthquakes can create the conditions necessary for magma to rise to the surface and form volcanoes.
Which best describes a major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes?
Both volcanoes and earthquakes are caused by activity within the Earth's crust. Volcanoes result from the movement of magma towards the surface, leading to eruptions, while earthquakes occur due to the sudden release of energy along faults in the Earth's crust, resulting in ground shaking.
Why does volcanoes and earthquake happen mostly in the same place?
Volcanoes usually form on plate boundaries. They form because the plates push upward against each other forming a small hole where magma can come out from the mantle. (the small hole is the where the magma comes out of on top of a volcano). Earthquakes usually are at faults lines and fault lines are near the plate boundaries. Since volcanoes and earthquakes happen usually at plate boundaries, they mostly happen in the same area.

What is a positive effect of an earthquake?
Earthquakes relieve the tension building between tectonic plates. so, loads of small earthquakes lessen the chance that a massive earthquake will happen along the same plate boundary.
Where can a scientist study both volcanoes and earthquakes in the same place?

Do earthquakes and volcanoes alwyas occur at the same time?
sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Do tectonic plates cause earthquakes and volcanoes to happen for the same reason?
The movement of tectonic plates are almost always the cause for earthquakes and volcanoes, although the actual quake or eruption may occur long after the underlying movement. Earthquakes are sudden shifts in the crust, when built-up stress along rock faults is released. The magma for volcanoes is formed of rocks that melt when they are pushed deeper into the Earth by tectonic forces.
Where are earthquakes usailly located?
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates

Why are the earthquakes and volcanic belts roughly the same?
Because most volcanoes occur along 'fault lines' in the Earth's crust. It's the movement of these same fault lines that cause Earthquakes.
Do volcanoes happen in the same place?
No, volcanoes don't occur in the same place because there was a volcano in Hawaii and maybe somewhere in Asia.
What Type of plate boundary exists between Indian and Asia?
A Collision plate boundary, where two continental plates that are the same in density and thickness, push against each other forming fold mountains and crumble zones. This causes Earthquakes from the pressure and stress but not volcanoes.
