What else can I help you with?
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
Why are most earthquakes and volcanoes located near plate boundaries -?
Earthquakes and volcanoes frequently occur where edges of the earths plates are colliding and or moving away from another.
Why do earthquakes and volcanic eruptions frequently occur in the same area?
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions often occur in the same area because they are both caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Volcanoes are usually found at plate boundaries where plates either converge or diverge, causing magma to rise to the surface. This movement of magma can also generate seismic activity, leading to earthquakes.
What spheres of the Earth is most directly affected by earthquakes and volcanoes?
The lithosphere is most directly affected by earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquakes occur when there is movement along faults in the lithosphere, while volcanoes are associated with the release of molten rock, or magma, through the lithosphere to the surface.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur frequently in japan?
Because of it's location directly on what vulcanologist call the "Pacific ring of fire", a high volcanism and earthquake area.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes mostly frequently occur?
Underground Earthquakes occur along fault lines. Volcanoes are all over the world but a good place to find one is in the Ring of Fire.
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
Why do earthquakes occur at volcanoes?
To release pressure.
What are volcanoes and earthquakes likely to occur?
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
Why is it unlikely for Northern Ireland not to have a major earthquake?
It is just Ireland's location. As there are no major faults near Ireland, volcanic and seismic activity is low. There are no active volcanoes in Ireland but sometimes very small earthquakes do occur in Ireland, or off its coasts.It is just Ireland's location.

Why do volcanoes and earthquakes occur on plate boundries?
earthquakes occur because plates move and they over lap causing an earthquake.
What energy transfers occur in volcanoes and earthquakes?
by killing people
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.
