Answer:

Think of it like two wooden benches rubbing against each other. Extend this example to continental plates. The friction and sudden release of stored elastic energy leads to earthquakes.

but you hella cute...u tryna link?

Volcanically active places are also prone to earthquakes as the Hawaiian Islands are. This happens mostly due to the movement of superheated magma and gases moving under the crust in such places.

Places far from such tectonic settings are therefore much more stable and are seldom associated with earthquakes. But that does not necessarily mean they will never be associated with quakes sometime in the future. New faults may develop and change the scenario.

Sampling

Explanation:

Sampling is a statistical procedure in which a selected number of observations is used to represent the whole observation. When we take an area and we use the population to estimate that of other areas or the whole population, we are simply sampling. Sampling is very important to some specific forms of observations. Sampling can be done randomly or in a systematic way. The goal of sampling is using the part to represent the whole.
