What else can I help you with?
Where are most active volcanoes abundant?
Edges of tectonic plates
Why don't we have volcanoes in North America?
volcanoes usually form at the edges of tectonic plates, which is one of the reasons that there are many in the Ring Of Fire. North America is not really located at the edge of many plates so there are not that many volcanoes.
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.
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
Most volcanoes are found along the edges of tectonic plates where they interact, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. This is where most of Earth's volcanic activity occurs due to the movement and collisions of these plates.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur near one another?
volcanoes form on hot spots (an area on a continential plate) so they are near each other <><><><><> They also form near edges of tectonic plates.
Where are most active volcanoes abundant?
Edges of tectonic plates
Where are the volcanoes and the earthquakes commonly situated?
Around the edges of tectonic plates.
Why don't we have volcanoes in North America?
volcanoes usually form at the edges of tectonic plates, which is one of the reasons that there are many in the Ring Of Fire. North America is not really located at the edge of many plates so there are not that many volcanoes.
Active volcanoes are most likely to form at .?
Volcanoes are most likely to form at the edges of the 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.
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.
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.
Why do earthquakes usually occur plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Where does most of the worlds earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
There is a region called the Pacific Ring of Fire, which bounds the entire Pacific Ocean with active convergent tectonic plates that has most of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes.It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes.
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
Most volcanoes are found along the edges of tectonic plates where they interact, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. This is where most of Earth's volcanic activity occurs due to the movement and collisions of these plates.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Why are earthquakes and volcanoes in the outside of the continents and not in the middle?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are more common on the edges of continents because that is where tectonic plates interact. These interactions can result in crustal movements that cause earthquakes and magma to rise towards the surface, leading to volcanic activity. In contrast, the interiors of continents are typically located on stable continental shields where tectonic activity is minimal.
