Volcanoes are usually found near convergent an divergent plate boundaries, which are themselves major faults and usually create minor faults. Minor faults can also provide a pathway for magma to reach the surface.

What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?

Volcanoes and earthquakes are often found along tectonic plate boundaries where there are faults. In the case of volcanoes, they can form at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced below another. Earthquakes occur along faults, which are fractures in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates move past each other.

What is the relationship between faults and earthquakes?

Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where rocks have moved past each other. When the rocks along a fault suddenly shift, it can cause an earthquake. The movement along faults is what generates the energy that produces earthquakes.


What is the relationship between faults and joints?

A joint is a crack in rock; a fault is a crack in rock along which the rocks have been displaced.
