What else can I help you with?
Where does the most geologic (including volcanoes and earthquakes) occur?
The most geologic activity, including volcanoes and earthquakes, occurs along tectonic plate boundaries. The Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean, is particularly notable for its high concentration of volcanic and seismic activity due to the movement of several tectonic plates. Other regions, such as the Himalayan mountain range and the San Andreas Fault in California, also experience significant geological events as a result of plate interactions.
What plate is the largest in areal extent?
The Pacific Plate is the largest tectonic plate in terms of areal extent, covering an area of approximately 103 million square kilometers. It includes the Pacific Ocean floor and parts of surrounding continents.
What is the geologic phenomena that is causing mckinely to grow is?
Mount McKinley, also known as Denali, is growing due to tectonic plate movement. The collision of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate has caused the mountain to rise over time. The compressional forces created by this tectonic activity are responsible for the uplift of Denali.
What is the thickest tectonic plate?
The pacific plate
What is the name of the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa?
The Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate are the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa.
What is the name of geologic area of unstable tectonic plates that loops around the pacific ocean?
The Pacific Ring of Fire.
What makes Mexico's land unstable?
The fact that Mexico lies atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates).

What are the names of the 2 tectonic plates on which New Zealand is located?
New Zealand is situated on the active boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates.

Where are most earthquakes likely to occur?
At or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.along the Pacific Rim, which includes most of the countries that has the Pacific Ocean as a coast line.Plate boundaries (constructive,destructive,conservative,collision)Along earthquake faultsunderwater
