Where are earthquakes and volcanoes typically found?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are typically found along tectonic plate boundaries where the Earth's lithosphere is in motion. This includes areas like the Pacific Ring of Fire, where the Pacific Plate collides with other plates, and along mid-ocean ridges where plates are spreading apart.
In which ocean basin are most trenches found?
Most trenches are found in the Pacific Ocean basin. This is because the Pacific Plate is the largest tectonic plate on Earth and is actively subducting beneath other plates, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches. The Mariana Trench, the deepest trench in the world, is located in the Pacific Ocean.
Which volcanoes are located on hot spots?
Well... Volcano hotspots are mostly on the boarders of tectonic plates. A huge volcano hotspot is the pacific ring of fire.... which is in the pacific ocean where major tectonic plates meet. If you want to see some maps of where the pacific ring of fire is, just go to google images and search for the pacific ring of fire.
Were do volcanoes appear the most?
Volcanoes appear most frequently along the boundaries of tectonic plates, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where many active volcanoes are found. These regions experience high levels of seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement and interactions of Earth's tectonic plates.
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 is polynesia found?
The Islands of Polynesia - are found in the middle of the Pacific ocean !

What kind of plate boundary is found at the meeting point of the Philippine and pacific plates?
The Phillipine and Pacific plate boundarys are Convergant.A destructive plate boundary.
Why are most oceanic trenches found in the pacific ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is part of the Ring of Fire. The ring of fire is underwater trenches made my moving plates. The plates pushed on each other and eventually moved downward, creating trenches

Are there plates around New Zealand?
New Zealand sits astride two tectonic plates, the Pacific, and the Australian. The Pacific plate is subducting (diving under) the Australian plate in the north, and in the south, the Australian plate is subducting under the Pacific one. Midway between these two extremes are found the Southern Alps, and this uplift is probably caused by this complex motion.

Volcanos form a ring of fire around the plate boundaries in the pacific ocean how might this provide evidence that the plates are moving?
Volcanoes are ofrenda found in subduction
What did balboa do.?
found the Pacific Ocean
What layer of the earth are plates found?
The plates are actively spreading submarine ridges in the middle of the oceans, subduction zones in ocean trenches or mountain ranges on the continents, or margins where the plates slide past one another. Most of the world's earthquakes occur at plate boundaries.
