∙ 9y agoEarthquakes and active volcanoes are related because of the tectonic disturbances they create. When a volcano erupts, it is very common for an earthquake to ensue.

Does Africa have volcanoes or earthquakes?
africa does not have volcanoes africa does have erthquakes
Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
Which country is known as country of earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
What is responsible for earthquakes and volcanoes?
Pressure under ground is responsible for volcanoes.
Is there a relationship between movement and distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Volcanoes don't move. Earthquakes move tectonic plates, and are then pronounced "earthquakes". So, no, I'm pretty sure there isn't.
Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
What Type of landform result at a convergent boundary?
mountains, volcanoes. earthquakes also, but earthquakes are not a landform.
What might occur as a result of plate boundaries?
volcanoes earthquakes and a fault
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
In what kind of situation might volcanoes form?
This type of convergence may result in the occurrence of deep earthquakes or the formation of volcanoes.
Were is there no earthquakes or volcanoes?
THERE is no earthquakes or volcanoes in space or in europe
What are the primary dangers of volcanoes and earthquakes and earthquakes?
*volcanoes Earthquakes and vOlcanoes can cause much damage among an area if it's shaken to pieces.
Is release to do with volcanoes or earthquakes?
earthquakes
Are there any volcanoes or earthquakes in Iraq?
Iraq experiences earthquakes but does not have any volcanoes.
What is the result of tectonic activity?
Tectonic activity has a number of consequences, which include continental drift, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
What can result from the action of plates at a converging boundary?
moderate earthquakes, volcanoes, formation of mountains and subduction zones
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
