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.
Are there earthquakes near coastlines?
Yes, earthquakes often occur near coastlines, especially in regions where tectonic plates interact, such as subduction zones. These areas can generate significant seismic activity and, in some cases, lead to tsunamis. The proximity to the ocean can amplify the impact of an earthquake on coastal communities. Notable examples include earthquakes along the Pacific Ring of Fire, which frequently affect coastal areas.
Why do geological processes that occur at convergent boundaries vary?
because the way the plates move cause different processes to occur and covergent boundaries such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and rivers/oceans
When Ninety percent of the worlds earthquakes occur around the?
Pacif Ocean
Why would tsunamis occur around destructive plate boundaries?
Tsunamis often occur around destructive plate boundaries because these areas are where tectonic plates collide, leading to significant geological activity. When one plate subducts beneath another, it can cause sudden vertical displacement of the ocean floor, displacing large volumes of water and generating powerful waves. Additionally, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions associated with these boundaries can further trigger tsunamis. The energy released during such events can result in waves that travel across oceans, impacting distant coastlines.
Do earthquakes occur around the coastlines of all oceans?
no
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
What ecosystems are at higher risk for earthquakes to occur?
Oceans
Are there oceans near where earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes could occur anywhere--on land or in sea. If they occur in the ocean, then they could trigger a tsunami warning.
Do most earthquakes occur around earthquake valley?
Please more specific, as earthquakes occur worldwide.

Where do the weakest earthquakes occur on?
The weakest earthquakes, measuring less than 2.0 on the Richter scale, can occur anywhere around the world. These earthquakes are generally not felt by people and are often only detected by seismographs.
When Ninety percent of the worlds earthquakes occur around the?
Pacif Ocean
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
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.
