why do many earthquakes but few volcani eruptions occur in the Himalaya?

Answered by Nabiha
This is because the Himalaya Mountains are a result of continent-continent collision and vulcanism in destructive boundaries results from subduction of oceanic plates.

This results in much seismic activity, or earthquakes.
