Earthquake, Volcano and Mountain Ranges Distribution

How are earthquake epicenters distributed across the earth?

• Randomly distributed

• Concentrated in narrow zones

• Evenly distributed

• All places experiences earthquakes

How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with the distribution of earthquake epicenters and volcanoes?

• Mountain ranges, epicenters and volcanoes are in the same location.

• Mountain ranges and epicenters are in the same location but not volcanoes.

• Mountain ranges, epicenters and volcanoes are in different location.

• Mountain ranges and volcanoes are in the same location but not epicenters.

Which best describes the prediction of plate tectonic theory about the distribution of active volcanoes and earthquakes?

• They should occur in deep ocean basins.

• They should occur primarily along plate boundaries.

• They should occur primarily on continents.

• They should be evenly distributed throughout the earth.

Which among these geological activities is NOT included as bases of the scientist in dividing the Earth’s lithosphere.

• mountain formation

• tsunami

• seismicity

• volcanisms

• I only
