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.
Based on the map showing earthquake zones as yellow lines and active volcanoes as red dots, a pattern that can be determined is that the volcanoes tend to be concentrated along the earthquake zones. This suggests a correlation between seismic activity and volcanic eruptions.
The earthquake zones appear as long lines on the globe due to the tectonic plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur along these boundaries, where plates converge, diverge, or slide past each other. As the movement of the plates is not uniform but rather concentrated along specific areas, the resulting earthquake zones appear as long lines, often coinciding with the plate boundaries.
