No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
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.
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.
Two common hazards along plate boundaries are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes occur due to the movement of tectonic plates, which can create stress and lead to sudden releases of energy. Volcanic eruptions often happen at convergent or divergent boundaries, where magma can rise to the surface due to plate interactions. Both hazards pose significant risks to nearby populations and infrastructure.
Earthquakes are a common natural disaster that occur on tectonic plate boundaries. The movement of tectonic plates along faults can cause sudden release of energy, resulting in violent shaking of the Earth's surface.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are common natural disasters that occur along a subduction zone. The tectonic activity at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced under another, can lead to these types of events, which pose significant risks to nearby coastal communities.
The answer is No.
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.

The Ring of Fire and the San Andreas Fault
Plate boundaries were first established based on the distribution of earthquakes and volcanic activity. Scientists noticed that most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur along specific zones on Earth's surface, which led to the identification of plate boundaries. These boundaries mark the edges of tectonic plates, where interactions such as subduction, spreading, and sliding take place.
Not usually. Although earthquakes often occur before a volcanic eruption, they are not the cause. The earthquakes are the result of magma (molten rock) moving underground leading up to an eruption. A few volcanic eruptions are thought to have been triggered or initiated by earthquakes, but this is not the typical case.
Just like all other volcanoes
Earthquakes are a common natural disaster that occur on tectonic plate boundaries. The movement of tectonic plates along faults can cause sudden release of energy, resulting in violent shaking of the Earth's surface.
No. Pyroclastic flows are a result of volcanic eruptions.
