describe the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake, major mountains belts in calabarzon
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
Looking at the positions of most if not all volcanoes, earthquakes, and major mountain belts, they are distributed mainly around the tectonic plate boundaries.
This is because the boundaries push further away, move closer together, and slide against each other (convergent, divergent, transform), thus creating either mountains, volcanoes, or earthquakes.
The distribution of the volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts are distributed in close proximity of the borders of the tectonic plates.
Most of the active volcanoes nowadays are found at the so called `` Ring of Fire '' which is practically the border of the Pacific Tectonic Plate.
The earthquake epicentres are not found at only some specific place, but they are found everywhere where there's border between two or more tectonic plates, it doesn't matter do they collide, move away from each other, subduct, the earthquakes will be there.
The major mountain belts are found on places where tectonic plates of pretty much the same density collide, so instead of some of them to go and be subducted, they push against each other and lift the area
Most active volcanoes are found along divergent plate boundaries that allows magma to go out and push the plates apart, and these are also found along convergent plate boundaries where there is subduction of plate and melts the plate and allows magma to rise, while most earthquakes occur at transform and convergent plate boundaries; mountains are along convergent plate boundaries where there pushing of crust without breaking thus forming an elevation, it is also due to piling of pieces of crust as they converge.
Hope this helps you
