Question
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are most common where ______ pull apart or come together.
- Crust
- Interplates
- Ocean beds
- Tectonic plates
Hint:
Tectonic plates
The correct answer is: Tectonic plates
Both volcanoes and earthquakes occur due to the movement of the earth's tectonic plates. They are both caused by the heat and energy releasing from the earth's core.
Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.
