Describe the distribution of earthquakes . Refer to attachment to answer .

Explanation:
An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.
Earthquakes are accordingly measured with a seismometer, commonly known as a seismograph.
The magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported using the Richter scale or a related Moment scale (with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being hard to notice and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas).
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground.
Sometimes, they cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of property.
An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates getting stuck and putting a strain on the ground.
The strain becomes so great that rocks give way by breaking and sliding along fault planes.
Earthquakes may occur naturally or as a result of human activities.
Smaller earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.
I hope you will understand this.
Answer:
▪︎DISTRIBUTION OF EARTHQUAKES -
Almost all earthquakes occur in very narrow bands along oceanic ridges and transform faults, along continental transcurrent faults, or in broader zones below and behind island arcs. The depth distribution of earthquakes is also very limited. Almost all seismic energy is released in the crust².
