Do earthquakes happen near the equator?
Yes, earthquakes can happen near the equator. The occurrence of earthquakes is not limited to specific regions and can happen anywhere along tectonic plate boundaries, including those near the equator. The factors that contribute to earthquakes, such as plate movement and interactions, can be present in equatorial regions.
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
Is there earthquakes season?
No, earthquakes can occur at any time of the year without following a specific seasonal pattern. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, which can happen at any time.

Do earthquakes make mountains?
No.Mountains are the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Earthquakes are also the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Thus the two go together but the earthquakes do not cause the mountains.
How are earthquakes different from mountains?
Because a earthquake isn't a mountain.. A earthquake starts to happen underground then is on top.
Do volacnoes erupt as often as earthquakes happen?
no because earthquakes are from mountains split into two sides and the volcano erupts when the crust cant hold the heat from the core
Do mountains prevent earthquake shocks?
Mountains do not prevent earthquakes, in fact mountains were created by the occurrence of earthquakes.
Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
Why do the majority of tsunamis occur in the pacific ocean?
