The map illustrates that active volcanoes (red dots) are predominantly located along the yellow lines representing earthquake zones, particularly near tectonic plate boundaries. The long lines of the earthquake zones are a result of the movement and interaction of tectonic plates, where stress accumulates and results in seismic activity along these boundaries.
I 2 sentences explainThe 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.
