What else can I help you with?
Is a volcanic eruption most likely to occur on the east coast of the US?
No. The west coast is the most likely place for a volcanic eruption.
What region of the US has the most active volcanoes?
The region of the US with the most active volcanoes is Alaska, particularly along the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula. This area is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire and is home to over 80% of all active volcanoes in the US.
What is the name of the location where volcanoes and earthquakes occur most frequently?
Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur at tectonic plate boundaries called fault lines.The US Geological suvey has quite a nice website entitled "This Dynamic Earth" which will probably answer any more specific questions.http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/dynamic.html
Where are volcanoes most likely to occur in the contiguous of the US?
The most likely location is along the west coast - because of the subduction (being pushed under) of the pacific plate by north America. Then there's a giant hot spot under Yellowstone - when that let's go it should be a beauty.
What part of the US is most likely to experience earthquakes and volcanoes?
The western part of the US, specifically along the Pacific Coast, is most likely to experience earthquakes and volcanoes. This region includes states like California, Oregon, and Washington, which are located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a seismically active zone known for both earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Where do eathquakes and volcanoes mostly occur in the US?
Earthquakes and volcanoes, although sometimes related are not always found in the same place. Although you will always see earthquakes associated with volcanoes, an earthquake can occur without any volcanic implications. Earthquakes are most commonly experienced along the west coast of the United States as well as along the southern part of the state of Alaska. Although this is the most common place to experience earthquakes, they can happen anywhere throughout the United States. Volcanoes are also most common along the west coast of the United States (with the exception of southern and central California) as well as the southern part of Alaska. The central and southern parts of California although the most prone to earthquakes do not at this time have a heavy concentration of active volcanoes. The earthquakes in this area are driven primarily by the San Andres and sister fault lines.
Where are volcanoes likely to occur in the US?
they occur on the outside edge of the country and mostly on the side of the pacific ring of fire
Does Hawaii have the most earthquakes and volcanoes in the United States?
Yes, Hawaii has the most earthquakes and volcanoes in the US.
Does California have the most volcanoes in the US?
No. There are a few volcanoes in California, but the Alaska has the most of any U.S. state.

What types of land occur along both the pacific coast and the Atlantic coast of Canada and the US?
petroleum
What region of the US has the most active volcanoes?
