Question

Review the map that shows earthquake zones as yellow lines and active volcanoes as red dots. What pattern can you determine about the location of the volcanoes and the earthquake zones? Also explain why the earthquake zones are long lines on the globe. Write 3 to 5 sentences.

Answer 1

The pattern shown is that the location of active volcanoes are usually found in the earthquake zones around the world.

The reason why the earthquake zones are long lines is because they are along tectonic plate boundaries which are found across the globe.

How are active volcanoes and earthquake zones related?

Active volcanoes will usually be found in earthquake zones because earthquake zones are located along the boundaries of tectonic plates.

When these plates collide with each other, earthquakes happen which is why these are earthquake zones.

These collisions also provide access to the surface for the lava in the mantle and so volcanic eruptions take place as well.
