What else can I help you with?
Where are most active volcanoes abundant?
Edges of tectonic plates
Are valcanos spread evenly around the world or are they concentrated in specific areas?
They're spread around the world... usually along the edges of tectonic plates.
Why are volcanoes usually found on edges of tectonic plates?
because they form from earthquakes
How do hot spots help track tectonic plates?
The hot spots occur around the edges of tectonic plates as they grind, move or slide past each other. One plate will be pushed down into the mantle and heats up. This creates molten rock and forces capable of forming volcanoes. Mark the sites of volcanoes and the edges of the plates can be mapped.
What are two things that can happen at the edges of tectonic plates?
They could meet and cause an earthquake.
Where are the volcanoes and the earthquakes commonly situated?
Around the edges of tectonic plates.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
A __ is where edges of tectonic plates meet?
plate boundary
Do most earthquakes form in the us?
No, earthquakes form all around the world. They form on the edges of the tectonic plates
Where are most active volcanoes abundant?
Edges of tectonic plates
Where are Gulf?
Gulfs are found around the edges of oceans. They are usually formed by movements of tectonic plates under Earth's crust.

They're spread around the world... usually along the edges of tectonic plates.

What causes earthquakes at the edges of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes are mostly found at the edges of plates because that is the area of which the plates collide in different ways resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.
What are two things that can happen at the edges of tectonic plates?
They could meet and cause an earthquake.
Why are the edges of plates so important to the cause and location of earthquakes?
I'm afraid I only know the cause. When the edges of the tectonic plates rub together it causes vibrations, that is the earthquake.
