Volcanoes and Earthquakes Concepts

The video tutorial covers the global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes, focusing on their occurrence along tectonic plate boundaries. It explains the concept of tectonic plate boundaries and their role in causing tectonic hazards. The session includes tasks to analyze maps for understanding the relationship between plate boundaries and the distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes. The tutorial concludes with a summary of key points and a task to highlight important learnings.

What is the primary focus of the session on global distribution?

• The history of earthquakes

• The causes of volcanic eruptions

• Where earthquakes and volcanoes are found

• The impact of earthquakes on human life

What is a tectonic plate boundary?

• A type of earthquake

• A type of volcano

• A location where two tectonic plates meet

• A region with no seismic activity

Why do most volcanoes occur near tectonic plate margins?

• Because of the presence of water

• Due to the movement of tectonic plates

• Due to the presence of forests

• Because of human activities

What is a hotspot in geological terms?

• A place with frequent rainfall

• A weakness in the Earth's crust where magma can rise

• A location with high temperatures

• A region with no volcanic activity

Where are the majority of active volcanoes located?

• On the eastern side of North America

• In the Sahara Desert

• Around the edge of the Pacific Ocean

• In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean

What is the relationship between tectonic plate boundaries and earthquakes?

• There is no relationship between them

• Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries

• Earthquakes never occur near plate boundaries

• Earthquakes are only found in the ocean

Which continents have earthquakes that do not occur on plate boundaries?

• Africa and Australia

• Europe and Asia

• Antarctica and Asia

• North America and South America

What is the main task for the session's final activity?

• To create a model of tectonic plates

• To write an essay on volcanoes

• To conduct a field study on earthquakes

• To study a map and extract information about active volcanoes

Which statement is true about active volcanoes?

• All active volcanoes occur on plate margins

• Many active volcanoes are found around the Pacific Ocean

• Active volcanoes are found on the eastern side of North America

• Active volcanoes are only found in Europe

What is the key takeaway from the session?

• Earthquakes only occur in the ocean

• Volcanoes are more common than earthquakes

• Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on tectonic plate boundaries

• Earthquakes and volcanoes are unrelated
