Lesson 1.2 Earthquake Centers and Volcano Locations
Earthquake Distribution Earthquakes are located mostly in long, narrow belts, along all types of plate boundaries.
Earthquake Distribution Over 80 percent of large earthquakes occur around the edges of the Pacific Ocean, an area known as the 'Ring of Fire '
Volcano Distribution Most volcanoes are concentrated on the edges of continents, along island chains, or beneath the sea forming long mountain ranges.

Answer the following questions Describe the location of the recent volcanic eruption, earthquake location, and location of the plate boundaries. How are the three related to each other?
Answer the following questions 3. Why is it necessary for our government to have a disaster preparedness plan?
Summary Active Volcanoes and Earthquake epicenters are predominantly distributed along Tectonic plate boundaries. Also mountain ranges and rift valleys.
