along plate boundaries
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.
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.
What events happen at a convergent continental continental boundary?
For a variety of reasons, the majority of the earth's most violent earthquakes and volcanoes occur in these areas
What is the name of the location where volcanoes and earthquakes occur most frequently?
Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur at tectonic plate boundaries called fault lines.The US Geological suvey has quite a nice website entitled "This Dynamic Earth" which will probably answer any more specific questions.http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/dynamic.html
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.
Where do most earthquakes and volcanos occure?
they are formed along the crustal movements of the earth.
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.
Why are there more volcanoes in the ring of fire than anywhere on earth?
Because that's were the most earthquakes occur
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.
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.
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
What events happen at a convergent continental continental boundary?
For a variety of reasons, the majority of the earth's most violent earthquakes and volcanoes occur in these areas
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
Why are the earthquakes and volcanic belts roughly the same?
Because most volcanoes occur along 'fault lines' in the Earth's crust. It's the movement of these same fault lines that cause Earthquakes.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Where on earth do earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
Is there a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Most volcanoes form along the edges of Earth's tectonic plates. Also most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes.
