Question

1. summarize where do earthquakes occur? explain your answer. 16. analyze how can volcanoes benefit plants and animals?

Explanation:

Earthquakes mainly occur at plate - boundaries. Tectonic plates move and interact, causing stress that is released as earthquakes. Volcanoes can benefit plants and animals by enriching soil with nutrients from volcanic ash, creating new habitats like lava fields that some species adapt to, and releasing water vapor and other gases that contribute to the water cycle and atmosphere.

Answer:

1. Earthquakes mainly occur at tectonic plate - boundaries. The movement and interaction of plates cause stress to build up and be released as earthquakes.
2. Volcanoes can benefit plants and animals by enriching soil with nutrients from volcanic ash, creating new habitats, and contributing to the water cycle and atmosphere through gas emissions.
