How Distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes on the earth is strongly

1.	How Distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes on the earth is strongly associated with the boundaries of plates?
Answer» DISCUSSION :- The distribution of Earthquakes and volcanoes are strongly associated with plate boundaries because Earthquakes means shaking of Earth's crust and the Earth's crust is made up of PLATES. In other way, volcano is a vent or opening on the Earth's crust from where the fiery hot magma erupts. SINCE, volcano is also associated with Earth's crust, it must be associated with plate. ACTUAL FACT :- All the Earthquakes and VOLCANIC ACTIVITIES take place near the surface of plate boundaries. The plate boundaries develop a LINE of fracture or fault which is the main cause of Volcanoes and Earthquake and thus they are associated with plate boundaries.
