Where the Hawaiian islands formed by earthquakes or volcanoes?
Hawaii was formed by centuries of volcanic magma boiling out. Hawaii and it's sister Islands are active volcanoes.
Is there evidance that the volcanoes and earthquakes are common in coasts and islands along the edges of the pacific ocean?
Yes, there is evidence that volcanoes and earthquakes are common along the edges of the Pacific Ocean due to the presence of the Pacific Ring of Fire. This region is characterized by intense seismic and volcanic activity caused by the movement of tectonic plates, leading to the formation of volcanoes on coasts and islands. Additionally, subduction zones in this area contribute to the high frequency of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What kind of volcanoes create islands?
Both shield volcanoes and stratovolcanoes can form islands.
Are Earthquakes and volcanoes are important for the formation of island chains?
Yes, earthquakes and volcanoes are important for the formation of island chains. Volcanic activity creates new land through the eruption of lava and ash, leading to the formation of islands. Earthquakes are also generated by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, which can contribute to the formation and shaping of island chains.
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.
Which country has 400 islands and is prone to volcanoes and earthquakes?
Indonesia

What cause earthqukes and volcanic eruptions?
Plate tectonics causes most volcanoes and earthquakes. When plates converge, diverge, or slip along another plate, volcanoes and earthquakes occur. There are other forms of volcanoes such as the Hawaiian Islands where volcanoes are formed over a hot spot in the mantel, and we have small earthquakes here in Wisconsin called rebound earthquakes where the land is actually still rising from the last ice age when it was depressed by the weight of the glaciers. There are other geophysical events that can create earthquakes too such as fracking.

What are two places earthquakes and vo lcanoes are formed?
the hawaiian islands (e.g. kilauea volcano and mauna loa) for volcanoes, and japan for earthquakes.pretty much just ramble about the pacific ring of firecause 90% of volcanoes and earthquakes happen on this plategoogle it and you will find the answer you seek..... ;)xoxox Loren and Emily

How does earhquakes and volcanoes change the earth?
Well, earthquakes can cause erosion of rocks, such as maybe large chunks of a mountain being eroded away after an earthquake. And volcanoes can form new land masses, such as islands. Hope this helps!

What natural occurrences can cause problems for Japan?
Because, over 1000 earthquakes may occur within a year, over 160 volcanoes are still active, tidal waves can occur after earthquakes, and then typhoons are a possibility on the islands.
Are islands the same thing as volcanoes?
No. Islands are small bodies of land, whereas volcanoes have erupted to make new land.Sometimes, large volcanoes can cause new islands to emerge (like Hawaii, for example), but volcanoes and islands are two very different things.
