Question

Compare the location of earthquake epicenters to the location of active volcanoes and major mountain belts

Answer 1

Answer:

$\underline{\huge{Answer:-}}$

During the “when plates collide lab,” we saw that certain features occur at each of the three types of boundaries. Ocean trenches and volcanoes form at divergent boundaries. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain ranges can all be found at the site of convergent boundaries.

Answer 2

Following is the comparison of the location of earthquake epicenters to the location of active volcanoes and major mountain belts:

• The location of earthquake epicenters is found mostly in the areas that constitute active volcanoes, and huge mountain ranges.
• Having said this, it is important to mention that not every earthquake epicenter area has active volcanoes.
• The location of active volcanoes, on the other hand, are in areas that are major hotspot regions. For example Mount Etna, Mount Vesuvius, etc.
• Names of some of the well-known major mountain belts on Earth are the Rocky Mountains, the Appalachian Mountains, the Ozark Mountains, etc.
