Question

how will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges earthquake epicenters and volcanoes​

Answer 1

Answer:

this is the correct answer

Explanation:

When you mention to distribution of epicenters, I assume you're asking about the distribution of earthquakes. Most mountain ranges are built along plate boundaries where the plates are crashing together. This collision of tectonic plates can result in a crumpling of the crust (as you find in the Himalayas) or a buckling of the crust over a zone of subduction (subduction being where one tectonic plate is pushed over another).

If you have a collision of tectonic plates without one being subducted under the other, as is the case in the Himalayas, you will have a (geologically) violent crumpling of the Earth and, as we all know, that is where you have the highest mountains of the world. Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock since before the recent Nepal quakes should know that there are very big earthquakes that can be associated with this collision. Earthquakes, in this situation, are highly correlated with mountain ranges, but they are not correlated with the growth of a specific mountain. You would not expect volcanoes in this type of continental collision.
