In which area are volcanoes more likely to happen?
Volcanoes are more likely to happen along the boundaries of tectonic plates, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean, where plates collide or separate, allowing magma to rise to the surface. This is where most of the Earth's volcanoes are located.
What is the earths lithosphere broken up into?
Tectonic Plates
Which part of earths is divided into plates?
Inner core
What are earthquakes. How do they occur?
earthquakes happen when sections of the earths crust shift.These shifting parts called plates,are actually pieces of the crust floating on the hot molten interior of the earth. The majority of earthquakes happen along the edges of those plates,and along weak areas of the crust called fault zones
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
Why are earthquakes less likely to happen at the centers of the earth?
they are less likely to happen at the center of Earth's plates because the plates collide in the front or in the back and unless a plate is the middl3e and another is moving to its center it well most likey not hit its center.

Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
Why is an earthquake less likely to happen at the center of the earths crust?
Because earthquakes are the result of two plates rubbing together. For example, if two plates are being forced into each other they may create what is called a subduction zone. One plate will be forced underneath the other. This quite obviously will cause some friction and maybe even some lifting of one of the plates. once the force becomes large enough to overcome that friction the plates will slip. An earthquake is what we feel on the surface when that happens. As to why they are not likely to happen in the center of the earths crust, The shock waves from this type of event will dissipate in the earth long before they get there.
How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
Where are hot spot volcanoes located in relation on Earths plates?
In the center/middle of the plate.
What would happen to the earths plates if the mantle completely cooled down?
They'd stop moving.
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
When are earthquakes most likely to happen?
When the tectonic plates move underneath the continents.
Where do volcanoes most commonly happen?
cracks in the plates which make up the crust. the earths crust is not connected. its made up of plates that moves and they are formed by plates pushing together then collapsing. they erupt when it gets a lot of friction from the plates pushing together
