What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where the movement of the plates causes stress and forces to build up. These boundaries are classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, each with distinct seismic and volcanic activity associated with their movements.
What are the belts called that most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on?
Earthquakes and volcanoes often occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates. These boundaries are known as plate boundaries or fault lines. The most active areas for earthquakes and volcanoes are the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where new oceanic crust is formed.
Do seismologists also study volcanoes?
They do occasionally, and they sometimes help vulcanologists. This is because volcanoes generate earthquakes, and analyzing patterns in these earthquakes can help to tell if a volcano is likely to erupt soon.
Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
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 are volcanoes and earthquakes found together?
The majority of earth's volcanoes and earthquakes occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates. Therefore, an area that has volcanoes is likely to be prone to earthquake as well.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
What is likely to occur on the earth's surface where it lies above the edges of crustal plates?
volcanoes,earthquakes,mountains
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
Why do earthquakes occur at volcanoes?
To release pressure.
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes occur on plate boundries?
earthquakes occur because plates move and they over lap causing an earthquake.
Where are volcanoes and earthquakes most likely to occur in southwest Asia and africa?
There are faultlines along the bottom of the Levant coastline, the Red Sea, and the Olduvai Gorge. Earthquakes happen in those areas. There are no significant volcanoes in the Middle East or Africa.
What energy transfers occur in volcanoes and earthquakes?
by killing people
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
