Answer:

plate boundaries

Explanation:

Volcanoes and earthquakes are most likely to form along plate boundaries.

Earthquakes:

An earthquake is generated when two plates move relative to each other. The earthquake itself, is the movement felt on the surface caused by the movement of the tectonic plates at their boundaries. There are a few different types of plate boundaries, NOAA does a great job giving a brief description of each here:

What motivates civilizations to take risks by exploring and colonizing new territories? Describe two motivations for colonizatio
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Usually famine causes angst between the weakened civilation so the owners of said territories usually hunt for more fertile land so they can sustain their growing population without having being thrown out of power and slain, its often better to satisfy the people who you govern rather than to exterminate to govern the population steadily.

and to own more land is more money and more power for such rulers, if they own more land they can tax more people, and if they own fertile land they can grow crops to sustain themselves, and the people they govern, satisfying the ruler AND the people.

How gender and race are connected
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

There are many ways that classes of people differentiate themselves from others, but one of the most common ways is by race and/or community where there is a plurality of people. Those may be rather stereotypical pictures, but you get the idea. Diversity is awesome. One lifespan isn't enough to discover all the many forms human beings are and why.
