What else can I help you with?
Where do earthquakes not happen?
Small earthquakes can happen almost anywhere on the earth's surface, however major earthquakes mainly only occur at plate boundaries or along very large faults. Earthquakes can also happen around volcanoes especially when they are due to erupt.
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Are earthquakes divergent convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all three types of plate boundary.
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Which plate earthquakes occur at?
Earthquakes can occur anywhere on Earth but large ones are more common at destructive plate bookbinderies.
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.

Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
Do earthquakes mostly occur at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.
Do earthquakes occur more frequently in the interior plates?
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
Why do some earthquakes occur inside plate boundaries in the interior of a lithospheric plate?
some earthquakes happen inside the plate because they are dumb
Do earthquakes often occur at at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes occur on plate boundries?
earthquakes occur because plates move and they over lap causing an earthquake.
Do most severe earthquakes occur at plate boundaries or in the middle of plates?
Plate Boundaries
