Answer:The distribution of earthquakes across the globe is shown in Figure 11.7. It is relatively easy to see the relationships between earthquakes and the plate boundaries. Along divergent boundaries like the mid-Atlantic ridge and the East Pacific Rise, earthquakes are common, but restricted to a narrow zone close to the ridge, and consistently at less than 30 km depth. Shallow earthquakes are also common along transform faults, such as the San Andreas Fault. Along subduction zones, as we saw in Chapter 10, earthquakes are very abundant, and they are increasingly deep on the landward side of the subduction zone.

makkiz [27]
I would say either A, or B. But I think B because it is giving you the setting of where this is taking place. So you wouldn't expect to all of a sudden see pirates right? You would more expect to hear of a lost civilization or see a camel walk past. It's basically getting you into the mindset of where the story's taking place and what to expect next. <span />
