About 70% of the earthquakes in the world happen around the Pacific rim, going from New Zealand to New Guinea, past the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, Kamchatka, Alaska, the western United States, Mexico, Central America, and western South America. This is also called the "ring of fire." Many of the rest happen in an east-west band across southern Europe, the Middle East, and northern India/southern China. Earthquakes mostly happen along the boundaries between tectonic plates. The places mentioned above are all along plate boundaries. (Look at a World Seismicity Map from the U.S. Geological Survey.) The San Andreas fault is the most studied fault which is a major part of the plate boundary between the North American and Pacific plates. Hundreds of small earthquakes occur within California along this plate boundary every week. (Look at a Western U.S. Seismicity Map.)

What else can I help you with?
Where are earthquakes found-?
Most earthquakes are found in or around the Ring of Fire located in the Pacific basin. The Ring of Fire is the site of mountain ranges, along with volcanoes and earthquakes. The Andes in South America, the Cascade Range of North America, and the Southern Alps of New Zealand are all associated with the Ring of Fire.
Where is the largest area of the active earthquakes and volcanoes in the world?
The Ring of Fire, which stretches around the rim of the Pacific Ocean.
Can volcanos be found in the pacific ring of fire?
The Ring of Fire, coinciding with the edges of one of the world's main tectonic plates, contains over 450 volcanoes and is home to approximately 75-percent of the world's active volcanoes. Some of those volcanoes are Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines, Mt. Fuji in Japan, and Mount Saint Helen's in Washington state.
Where are volcanoes oftern found?
Volcanoes are often found along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. They can also occur in hotspots, like Hawaii, where magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle. Volcanoes can be found both on land and underwater.
Why does the ring of fire have tsunamis volcanoes and earthquakes?
The Ring of Fire is also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The yellow line is the location of the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is bascically where the Earth's tectonic plates have spread apart and cracked, allowing warm lava to rise and causing many earthquakes and volcanoes. Also, the plates here often shift and that is why there are often tsunamis. Tsunamis are caused underwater by onshore earthquakes that are very powerful.
Where are volcanoes and earthquakes found?
the ring of fire
Which country is known as country of earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes found around the world?
Where tectonic plates are converging and diverging with each otherThey are mostly found around the Pacific "Ring of Fire", and more generally on any destructive or contstructive plate boundary.Most occur on destructive plate boundaries. The Pacific 'ring of fire' is an example of a long series of destructive plate margins and most volcanoes and earthquakes on Earth are on it.
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 are earthquakes found-?
Most earthquakes are found in or around the Ring of Fire located in the Pacific basin. The Ring of Fire is the site of mountain ranges, along with volcanoes and earthquakes. The Andes in South America, the Cascade Range of North America, and the Southern Alps of New Zealand are all associated with the Ring of Fire.
Where are volcanoes normally found?
around the pacific ring of fire
Where is most earthquakes and volcanoes located?
the ring of fire
What type of volcano is found around the ring of fire?
Many of the volcanoes around the Ring of Fire are stratovolcanoes.
What is the circle located in and around the Pacific Coast where scientists think most volcanoes and earthquakes are located?
The ring of fire
Where is the largest area of the active earthquakes and volcanoes in the world?
The Ring of Fire, which stretches around the rim of the Pacific Ocean.
Where are moderate volcanoes found?
Around the ring of fire and maybe hawaii
