What is true of both earthquakes and volcanoes?

Both earthquakes and volcanoes can occur along plate boundaries.

Both earthquakes and volcanoes are associated with tectonic plate activity.

Did you know?

Did you know that earthquakes and volcanoes both result from the Earth's dynamic activity? These natural phenomena are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, huge slabs of the Earth's crust that float on the semi-fluid layer below. When these plates collide, slide past each other, or pull apart, it creates immense pressure and energy build-up. Earthquakes occur when this energy is released, causing the ground to shake. Similarly, volcanoes form when molten rock (magma) rises to the surface through cracks in the Earth's crust, often fueled by the same tectonic plate movements. So, whether it's the ground rumbling or molten lava flowing, both earthquakes and volcanoes are fascinating and interconnected expressions of the Earth's dynamic nature!
