As per contrasting the map of earthquake epicentres with the map of active volcanoes, it can be witnessed that they overlap. The site of the volcanoes is where most earthquakes occur.
Explanation:
- A majority of the earthquake’s epicentres lie on the tectonic plate boundaries.
- Earthquakes and volcanoes are both generated from the convergent and divergent movement of the tectonic plate boundaries.
- The best reminder to this is the Pacific Ring of Fire where most of the earthquake epicentres are positioned on the pacific plate of the ring of volcanoes.
- Areas with volcanoes have earthquake epicentres because volcanic activity or eruption gives rise to the volcanic earthquake.
