This week in science class we researched if there is a pattern where volcanoes and earthquakes strike. My hypothesis was that there is a pattern, volcanoes erupt close to earth quake and the plate boundaries. Earthquakes are not all scattered they are all mostly around the plate boundaries. Volcanoes mostly erupt close to earthquakes since the earthquake cause the volcano to erupt. I don't think that from the data we have we can see if there's a pattern because earthquakes appear every 13 seconds so the data may not be accurate. I calculated that the closest active volcano is 8000 miles away from Serbian. If we would put more volcanoes and earthquakes on our data it would be the almost the same since most volcanoes erupt in the ring of fire and earthquakes happen close to volcano. In conclusion volcanoes erupt close to earthquakes and quakes erupt when 2 plates transform pass each other.
Does a volcano erupt every time there is an Earthquake? Where is the closest active volcano located? This post needed to be set up as a lab report, please correct it making sure that you have data analysis, conclusion and going further.
