It is given that seismic activity d<span>ensity of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area affected. so if the there 424 earthquakes and the land area is 71,300 sq miles.

seismic activity density = 424 / 71,300
</span>
<span>seismic activity density = 0.0059
the closest answer in the choices is 0.0056</span>
