Waves from the Earthquake have been ringing the planet like bell, causing stress in all sections of the planet", Martin said. "Imagine a calm magma chamber that just needs one push, even if a few feet. This would be enough to cause instability in the chambers, causing volcanic eruptions in various locations. These three eruptions will not be the only mountains to go and other quakes worldwide will follow as the worldwide faults get disturbed.

Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near one another?
volcanoes form on hot spots (an area on a continential plate) so they are near each other <><><><><> They also form near edges of tectonic plates.
Why do earthquakes and volcanic eruptions frequently occur in the same area?
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions often occur in the same area because they are both caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Volcanoes are usually found at plate boundaries where plates either converge or diverge, causing magma to rise to the surface. This movement of magma can also generate seismic activity, leading to earthquakes.
What is the name of the location where volcanoes and earthquakes occur most frequently?
Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur at tectonic plate boundaries called fault lines.The US Geological suvey has quite a nice website entitled "This Dynamic Earth" which will probably answer any more specific questions.http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/dynamic.html
Where do volcanoes occur the most?
The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
Where is the largest area of active earthquakes and volcanoes in the world?
The largest area of active earthquakes and volcanoes in the world is known as the Ring of Fire. It is a horseshoe-shaped zone around the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to tectonic plate movements. It spans from the west coast of the Americas to Asia.
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.
What are the primary dangers of volcanoes and earthquakes and earthquakes?
*volcanoes Earthquakes and vOlcanoes can cause much damage among an area if it's shaken to pieces.
Where do eathquakes and volcanoes mostly occur in the US?
Earthquakes and volcanoes, although sometimes related are not always found in the same place. Although you will always see earthquakes associated with volcanoes, an earthquake can occur without any volcanic implications. Earthquakes are most commonly experienced along the west coast of the United States as well as along the southern part of the state of Alaska. Although this is the most common place to experience earthquakes, they can happen anywhere throughout the United States. Volcanoes are also most common along the west coast of the United States (with the exception of southern and central California) as well as the southern part of Alaska. The central and southern parts of California although the most prone to earthquakes do not at this time have a heavy concentration of active volcanoes. The earthquakes in this area are driven primarily by the San Andres and sister fault lines.

Where does most of the worlds earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
There is a region called the Pacific Ring of Fire, which bounds the entire Pacific Ocean with active convergent tectonic plates that has most of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes.It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur frequently in japan?
Because of it's location directly on what vulcanologist call the "Pacific ring of fire", a high volcanism and earthquake area.

The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
On what plate do most earthquakes occur?
In the pacific plate. Mostly around the area known as the Pacific Ring of Fore. 70% of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes happen in the Pacific Ring of Fire which is located in the Pacific Plate.
Where is the largest area of active earthquakes and volcanoes in the world?

It is a horseshoe-shaped zone around the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to tectonic plate movements. It spans from the west coast of the Americas to Asia.
What is the area called that major volcanic activity and earthquakes occur?
It is called the Ring of Fire. Or, if you weren't being specific, a place where earthquakes occur is called a fault line, where the continental plates meet. When they shift, it causes earthquakes and can form volcanoes.
