- Tectonic plates- any of several large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere which participate in plate tectonics
Earthquakes are when the plates move too much, and volcanoes hapen when there is a large gap in the plates. The magma/lava comes through the crust of the earth making an ignious rock mountain. aka a volcano
What else can I help you with?
Why are earthquakes mountains and volcanoes in the same classification?
Earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes are all related to the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes occur due to the release of tectonic stress, while mountains are formed by the collision of tectonic plates, pushing crustal rocks upwards. Volcanoes are formed when magma from beneath the Earth's surface is released through openings in the crust, often associated with tectonic plate boundaries.
Why are volcanoes usually found on edges of tectonic plates?
because they form from earthquakes
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are related because they can both be caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Volcanic activity can generate earthquakes as magma rises through the Earth's crust, and conversely, earthquakes can trigger volcanic eruptions by creating pathways for magma to reach the surface.
What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Volcanoes and earthquakes are often found along tectonic plate boundaries where there are faults. In the case of volcanoes, they can form at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced below another. Earthquakes occur along faults, which are fractures in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates move past each other.
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
How volcanoes and earthquakes happen?
something about tectonic plates.....
What occurs at the edge of tectonic plates?
Scientists observed that volcanoes and earthquakes occur at the edge of tectonic plates.
Are volcanoes and earthquakes manmade?
No. They are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
Does the volcanoes and earthquakes happen where tectonic plates meet?
yes

Why did earthquakes and volcanoes happen?
Tectonic Plates are moving in all directions...
Where are the volcanoes and the earthquakes commonly situated?
Around the edges of tectonic plates.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
How are eartquakes and volcanos realated?
earthquakes make volcanoes because of tectonic plates
