Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands around the earth?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands around the Earth because they are often related to tectonic plate boundaries. The movement of these plates causes stress to build up in the Earth's crust, leading to earthquakes along faults. Volcanoes also form at plate boundaries, where magma from the mantle rises to the surface, creating volcanic activity. These bands of geological activity coincide with plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean.
What is the cause of earthquakes in volcanic regions?
Earthquakes are like a rubber band. They both have limits. If you strech a rubber band the farthest it can, it will eventually meet it's elastic limit or the point where it can strech its farthest. If you go any farther than its elastic limit the rubber band will break. This is an example of how earthquakes are formed.I'm not sure if a volcano can cause earthquake or an earthquake can cause an volcanic eruption or both. But earthquakes can cause volcanoes to erupt. There are many kinds of earthquakes some are big and destructive but most of them are small that we can't even feel. Small earthquakes are important now and then because if they don't happen often the stress and force build up and create a big earthquake. One cause of earthquake causes in volcanic regions can probably be the shaking of an earthquake can cause an eruption. Or the shaking ofa volcano can cause an earthquake.
Did the big bang theory create the volcanoes?
No, the Big Bang theory explains the origin of the universe and does not directly relate to the creation of volcanoes. Volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic plates on Earth's surface, which cause magma to rise and erupt through the Earth's crust.
What was the epicentre of the recent big tsunami in Japan?
Tsunamis do not have epicentres. Earthquakes do. Sometimes, as in the case of Japan, earthquakes cause tsunamis.
Where are earthquakes found-?
Most earthquakes are found in or around the Ring of Fire located in the Pacific basin. The Ring of Fire is the site of mountain ranges, along with volcanoes and earthquakes. The Andes in South America, the Cascade Range of North America, and the Southern Alps of New Zealand are all associated with the Ring of Fire.

What is going to cause the 'Big One' in California?
Earthquakes.
Does Emily cause earthquakes?
No, Emily does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are natural phenomena caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Emily, as an individual, does not have the ability to cause earthquakes.
Are volcanes bad or earthquakes?
Both are considered bad. Volcanoes, if the eruption is big enough, can damage a lot of land. However, earthquakes are more frequent and they can be very destructive.
All faults will cause earthquakes?
It all depends on how big the fault is, bigger ones will cause bigger earthquakes, while smaller, or small ones may cause no earthquake at all.

What does strike slip faults cause?
They can cause earthquakes or plate movements, depends how big it was. -bkinishi@yahoo.com
What is more destructive a big earthquake or many small earthquakes?
It depends on how big the earthquake is. A big earthquake will cause more damage to the area.
How big are Australia's earthquakes?
As big as regular earthquakes.
Can a volcanoe cause an earthquake?
Yes. The volcano eruption can affect the plates and a earthquake might happen. +++ It's generally the other way round. Most active earthquake zones lie over subducting plates and it the stick-slip movement of these that cause the tremors. The associated volcanoes are a following process, emitting magma formed from partial melting of the subducted plate.
Can a big butt cause lower back problems?
No
