Question

how do you compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters with the location of volcanoes around the world​

Answer 1

Volcanoes and earthquakes are both produced from the divergent and convergent movement of the tectonic plate boundaries. The best association to this is the pacific ring of fire wherein, most of the earthquake epicenters are located on the pacific plate on the ring of volcanoes.

Answer 2

Comparison of earthquake epicenters with the location of volcanoes are as follows:

• The divergent and convergent movement of tectonic plates boundaries is responsible for earthquakes as well as volcanoes.
• Some earthquake epicenters are found in areas with active volcanoes. However, not all active volcanoes are located in areas with earthquake epicenters.
• Currents called convection currents inside the earth provide the mechanism for tectonic plates movement which creates conditions that cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
