This belt stretches from Alaska to Kuril, Japan, Mariana, and the Philippine trenches.

This is the area where the Pacific Ring of Fire is found, which has the highest incidence of earthquakes.

About 70% of the world's earthquakes occur in this region.

About 20% of the Earth's earthquakes have occurred.

This belt includes the volcanoes of the Alps, the Mediterranean Sea like Stromboli, Vesuvius, and Etna: Volcanoes of the Aegean Sea, Mt. Ararat (Turkey), Elburz, Hindukush, and the Himalayas.

Made up of many faults, and most of the earthquakes around the world occur on these faults

The vibration of Earth due to the rapid release of energy

The first type of seismic wave to be recorded in a seismic station

The Mid-Atlantic bridge is a vast chain of underwater mountains on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

Most of the highest mountain ranges in the world are found in Asia.

The highest mountain peaks are in the Hindu Kush.

The farther the recording instrument is from the focus, the greater the difference in arrival times of the first P-wave compared to the first S-wave.

The global distribution of earthquakes is similar to volcanoes
