Why earthquakes occur at conservative plate margins?
Because of the big grinding of the conservative plate margin cause the land to go back and forth
What processes can be observed at the margins of lithospheric plates?
At plate margins, processes such as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another, occur. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches. Additionally, plate margins can be locations of volcanic activity and earthquakes due to the movement and interaction of the plates.
Why is there no volcanoes at conservative margins?
Volcanoes are not typically found at conservative plate margins because these margins involve plates sliding past each other horizontally without creating or destroying crust. Volcanic activity is typically associated with convergent and divergent plate boundaries where tectonic forces are creating or destroying crust, leading to magma generation and volcanic eruptions.
Why do volcanoes occur at constructive plate margins and subduction zones?
Because the subducting plate is water saturated oceanic crust, and as it moves down into the mantle it vaporizes the water and forces steam upwards. At the same time, the descending plate causes friction and circulation, leading to pressure-release melting. All of these processes melt the upper mantle to form magma chambers and thus, volcanoes.
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 type of plate boundaries do stratovolcanoes occur?
At constructive plate margins (where two plate slide away from each other) or a destructive plate boundary (where two plates slide together), volcanoes do not occur at a conservative plate margin. Hope this helps
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins

What events occur at plate margins?
earthquake, volcano
What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
Compare and contrast composite and shield volcanos?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Where in the earth do the most Earthquakes occur?
on the tectonic plate margins.
What is a continental arc system?
These arc systems form at collision plate margins where an oceanic plate is being subducted under a continental plate. As the oceanic plate melts, the magma rises and finds cracks in the continental plate above and creates volcanoes. These volcanoes occur all the way along this plate margin. For example the cascade volcanic arc on the north west coast of USA.
