There is a relationship between plate boundaries, earthquakes, and volcanoes even though they are all so very different from each other. All these three things are part of Earth, the planet. There is a source that helps us locate and identify these three things and it is called Google Earth. It is a very reliable application that can assist you in finding these things. That way, we can recognize the relationship. Plate boundaries, earthquakes, and volcanoes have things in common which create the relationship that they have together. 

 

Plate boundaries have a connection with earthquakes and volcanoes because of their location. There are three different types of plate boundaries. There are divergent boundaries which are plates that spread apart from from each other. There are convergent boundaries which are plates that collide against each other. And last but not least, there are transform boundaries which are plates that basically transform when they slip past each other. Plate boundaries are located all around our planet. They mostly are found around the boundaries of continents and in oceans and are seldom found going through continents. Plate boundaries have a relationship between volcanoes and earthquakes because of their location. You can often find volcanoes lying along the convergent boundaries because these are plates that are colliding which cause these volcanoes to craft up. And a lot of earthquakes quake up around transform boundaries because these plates slip past each other which may cause a glitch (which is the earthquake) to occur. 

 

Earthquakes have a connection and a relationship with volcanoes and plate boundaries because of their movement. When the plate boundaries move into their certain direction and speed, they cause earthquakes and volcanoes to occur in that specific region/area. Earthquakes are caused by plates rubbing against each other and cause shaking and cracking on earth's surface. So that is how there is a relationship between volcanoes, earthquakes, and plate boundaries. 

 

Volcanoes have a connection with earthquakes and plate boundaries because of their distance from each other. Volcanoes are a mountain-like hill that is filled with lava and gas from earth's surface. They are caused also by plates moving against each other causing land masses to shift and form. Volcanoes are related to plate boundaries and earthquakes by their distance from each other. They are related by their distance from each other because they are not very far from each other. And you can tell that this is common. Wherever there are plate boundaries and/or earthquakes, there are usually volcanoes around that area as well. 

 

Earthquakes, plate boundaires, and volcanoes have a lot in common and are related to each other although they are very different from each other. All these three things have things that make them related to each other and some of them even cause each other to occur. They are made together and are part of our planet Earth. They are related by their location, their distance from each other, and last but not least, their movement. With all of these things going together, earthquakes, plate boundaries, and volcanoes are related, in a way.
