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

• Mountain ranges and volcanoes have the same location.

• Earthquake epicenters and volcanoes have the same location.

• Mountain ranges and earthquake epicenters have the same location.

• Mountain ranges, earthquake epicenters and volcanoes have the same location.

What do you think is the importance of determining the epicenter of an earthquake?

• Locating earthquake epicenters will pinpoint which fault lines are active.

• So that necessary precautions could be done if ever you are living in one of those places.

• To determine which fault line stores a great amount of energy that may cause major earthquakes.

• All of the above

How will you describe the distribution of earthquake epicenters around the world?

• They are not found on the continents.

• The world's earthquake is found everywhere.

• The world's earthquake is randomly distributed over the Earth's surface.

• The world's earthquake is not randomly distributed over the Earth's surface.

How are earthquakes distributed on the map?

• They tend to be concentrated in narrow zones

• They evenly distributed on the surface

• All of the above

What do earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges have in common?
