Question

How are earthquakes distributed on the map?

Answer 1

The earthquakes are mainly distributed along the edges of the platonic plates on the map.

Explanation:

• The colored lines show the plate boundaries that may may past each other leading to an earthquake.
• The map also differentiates the different movements of the plates like rubbing against each other or moving apart.
• The map also highlights the volcanoes eruption in the oceans that cause earthquake on earth.

Answer 2

The distribution of earthquakes on map is based on the plate tectonics.

Explanation:

• The earthquakes are distributed all over the globe and are found along the fault line and lines of plate subsidence.

• Almost all earthquakes occur at the narrow bands along the mid-oceanic ridges and transform faults or near the border zones between and behind the island arcs.  

• They can be shallow, intermediate, and deep-seated earthquakes. The circus pacific belt, that is ring of fire is known for the occurrence of massive earthquakes.

• The mid-Atlantic ridge is the place of the divergent plate boundary and starts from Iceland and has earthquakes of 7 magnitudes.

• They also occur along the Continent-Continent Convergence Zones such as the zones of the Himalayas and the Tibetian zones and plates of interplate that occur within the plate boundary.

• Some of them are human triggered that occurs along the ancient rift zones.
