True
Central America is located along the boundary of two tectonic plates, the Cocos Plate and the Caribbean Plate, which are actively moving against each other. This movement causes a lot of seismic activity and results in frequent earthquakes in the region.
Earthquakes and volcanoes frequently occur where edges of the earths plates are colliding and or moving away from another.
The Pacific Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped region in the Pacific Ocean basin known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. It is home to approximately 75% of the world's active volcanoes and experiences about 90% of the world's earthquakes. The Ring of Fire is located along the edges of the Pacific Plate, where it intersects with other tectonic plates.
The area where 75 percent of the world's volcanoes are located is known as the "Ring of Fire." This region is a horseshoe-shaped belt of volcanic and seismic activity that encircles the Pacific Ocean. It is characterized by frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to the movement of tectonic plates.
They both happen along the lithosphere (tectonic) plates. For Volcanoes- The Ring of Fire, which is where most of the volcanoes in the world happen, is along tectonic plate boundaries. For Earthquakes- Faults (cracks in the Earth's crust) form above the tectonic plates, and when the two plates of the fault slip, it releases energy, and causes an earthquake to happen.
Yes, the Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. The country is prone to both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location along tectonic plate boundaries.
it is at faults or cracks
because there by the edge of the tectonic plates.

The Pacific Ocean has a ring of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire. This area is located in the Pacific Ocean basin and is characterized by frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity due to plate tectonics.
The Japanese archipelago is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates meet. This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot springs across Japan. If earthquakes occur below or close to the ocean, they may trigger tidal waves (tsunami).
Most earthquakes and volcanoes are on the Pacific rim of fire.
