Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
How many people do volcanoes kill a year?
On average, volcanoes kill about 540 people a year worldwide. However, this number can vary significantly depending on the activity level of different volcanoes and the population density around them.
Why do they call the earthquakes in california san andreas fault?
Earthquakes in California are often associated with the San Andreas Fault because it is a major tectonic boundary that runs through the state. The fault has been responsible for several significant earthquakes in the region, leading to its association with seismic activity in California.
What is the name for ruminants stomach lining?
The stomach lining of ruminants is called the mucosa, which is responsible for producing enzymes and absorbing nutrients from the food that has been partially digested in the rumen.
Do earthquakes and volcanoes always occur in the same area?
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.
What has Earthquakes and volcanoes may have been partially responsible for?
Continental Drift
In this northeastern region of australia there have been no volcanoes or earthquakes?

Are earthquakes significant in Australian history?

Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
Do earthquakes comes from water?
If you answer your own question, no one will ever know it hasn't been answered -.- No, earthquakes come from the tectonic plates underneath the earth's surface. They rub, grind, and collide. This allows for volcanoes, mountains, and earthquakes.
Where are volcanoes general found?
almost anywhere, anywhere where theres mountain or hills ect. i live in the UK in worcetershire, malvern, and we have loads of hills that used to be volcanoes, but they have closed up and are well dead really, and ive been up their many times. sometimes you will find volcanoes wherever there are earthquakes not always though, this is because earthquakes are on plate boundrys, and you usually get earthquakes with volcanoes, like mt st helens for example, a 5.1 on the Richter scale earthquake was what started off that volcano. so yes almost everywhere.

Are there any volcano's in Puerto Rico?
There are currently no active volcanoes located on the island of Puerto Rico, which may have been formed by a volcano (or possibly a series of volcanoes) many, probably thousands of years ago. Because the island is located on the southern edge of the Puerto Rico Trench, there is always the danger of earthquakes and tsunamis.
