Question

The image shows a world map with yellow lines that represent earthquake zones and red dots that represent active volcanoes.
Review the map that shows earthquake zones as yellow lines and active volcanoes as red dots. What pattern can you determine about the location of the volcanoes and the earthquake zones? Also explain why the earthquake zones are long lines on the globe. Write 3 to 5 very very short and simple sentences.

Answer 1

The map shows that many active volcanoes are found near yellow lines, which represent earthquake zones. This pattern suggests that volcanoes and earthquakes often occur in the same areas. The earthquake zones are long lines because they mark the boundaries of tectonic plates. When these plates move, they create earthquakes and volcanic activity. Both are common along these plate boundaries.
