What is the relationship between the movement of the earth’s plate and the pattern of volcanoes and earthquake?
The three main types of tectonic plate boundaries are convergent, divergent, and transverse boundaries. Earthquakes occur at all of these.
Volcanoes occur at both divergent and convergent boundaries. A divergent boundary is where two plates are moving apart. The Mid Atlantic Ridge was built by volcanism at the diverging boundary between the North American and the Eurasian Plates. Iceland is part of this ridge and volcanoes erupt there pretty routinely.
Convergent boundaries are where two plates are moving together. In some cases, the ground is pushed upward where plates collide, creating mountains. The Himalayas are an example of this.
At an oceanic-continental plate convergence, the heavier oceanic plate is subducted beneath the continental plate. This also causes volcanoes. The Pacific Ring of Fire is created by convergent boundaries around much of the Pacific Plate. The recent Chilean earthquake was caused by subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate.
An oceanic-oceanic plate convergence creates ocean trenches and volcanic island arcs.
"The crustal portion of the subducting slab contains a significant amount of surface water, as well as water contained in hydrated minerals within the seafloor basalt. As the subducting slab descends to greater and greater depths, it progressively encounters greater temperatures and greater pressures which cause the slab to release water into the mantle wedge overlying the descending plate. Water has the effect of lowering the melting temperature of the mantle, thus causing it to melt. The magma produced by this mechanism varies from basalt to andesite in composition. It rises upward to produce a linear belt of volcanoes parallel to the oceanic trench, as exemplified in the above image of the Aleutian Island chain. The chain of volcanoes is called an island arc. If the oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath an adjacent plate of continental lithosphere, then a similar belt of volcanoes will be generated on continental crust. This belt is then called a volcanic arc, examples of which include the Cascade volcanic arc of the U.S. Pacific northwest, and the Andes volcanic arc of South America."
The third type of boundary is a tranverse boundary, where the two plates are sliding past each other. This causes earthquakes, but not volcanoes. The San Andreas fault is a well known example where the North American Plate and the Pacific plate slide past one another.
