Answer:

1. Why are earthquakes monitored worldwide instead of in earthquake-prone areas only?

Earthquakes are monitored worldwide instead of just earthquake-prone areas since earthquakes can happen all over the world, even far away from plate boundaries.

2. How many seismographs are needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake? Why is this number significant?  

You need at least three seismographs to find the epicenter of an earthquake. The reason you need three or more seismographs is so you can see where the waves overlap to find the epicenter.

Answer:

earthquakes are monitored worldwide because we never know when they will occur, they can happen everywhere in the world even in the areas that are far away from the tectontic plates boundaries. that is why earthquakes are monitored worldwide instead of in earthquake-prone areas only.

Use the drop-down menus to identify the types of convergent boundaries labeled A, B, And C.
algol [13]
Oceanic-continental convergence occurs when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge. They are pushed together and the oceanic plate is forced to go under the continental plate. So based on the diagram, this convergence occurred in letter B. 

Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide into one another. The oceanic plate that is older, denser and/or colder will be the plate that will go under the other. It will be forced down into the mantle. So in our diagram, this occurs in letter A.

Continental-continental convergence occurs when two continental plates converge. In this case, the plates push up against each other and create mountain ranges. Unlike the other two, they do not sink down, the movement is upwards. This occurs in the area C of your diagram.
