The map of global earthquakes and volcanoes reveal where the tectonic boundaries are. Most of the earthquake and volcanoes that happen on earth occur on the belt of tectonic plates.

The map of the global earthquakes and volcanoes are color coded to help identify where the earthquakes and volcanoes are. The red straps on the map show where earthquake areas are while the blank spot is for volcanoes. The black spots are shown when the volcano does not have any active activity.

Majority of the earthquake occur at the upper part of the tectonic plates and the volcanoes have the tendency to blow up along convergent and divergent plate borders.

Lastly, the quake spoke, are painted and you can observe how great the earthquake was.

The map of global earthquakes and volcanoes reveal where the plate boundaries are. Most of the Earth's volcanoes occur in belts that stretch the Earth's tectonic plates' boundaries. In plate tectonic theory, the lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates, which endure some large-scale motions.

Established upon their movements, concerning one another, these plate boundaries are made up of three kinds, which include divergent, convergent, and transform. When Earth's tectonic plates scrape past one another, large amounts of energy can be distributed in the form of earthquakes.

Volcanoes are also often discovered near plate boundaries because molten rock from deep within Earth is magma, which can travel upward at these intersections between plates.

The correct answer to this question is Where the plate boundaries are. The earthquakes and volcanoes that happen on Earth normally happen on the belt of the tectonic plates. The map is color coded to help those identify where the earthquakes and volcanoes are. The red straps on the map help identify where the earthquake is.

A volcano is identified by the black spots, which are shown when the volcano does not have any active activity. This guide helps show how great and large each activity is. Most of the earthquakes that occur do so along the upper section of the tectonic plates.

The map of the global earthquake and volcanoes reveals where the plate boundaries are.

Most of the earth's volcanoes happen in belts that run the boundaries of Earth's tectonic plates.

Earthquakes are usually placed in these areas also.

On the map, red straps show earthquake areas, and black spots show volcanoes that are not active.

On the world map, only more enormous quakes are added.

Several earthquakes are linked with volcanoes.

The majority of earthquakes happen along the upper part of the tectonic plates.

Volcanoes have a tendency to blow up along convergent and divergent plate borders.

Nevertheless, they might as well be near places where earthquakes can be discovered. World maps of earthquakes effectively indicate the position of the earthquake.

The quake spots are painted, and you can observe how great the earthquakes were.

It tells where the plate boundaries are.

• The Majority of the world’s volcanoes occur in belts that race the confines of Earth’s tectonic plates.

• Earthquakes are common place in these regions as well.

• On the map, red bands indicate earthquake zones, and black dots indicate inactive volcanoes.

• On the global map, only more massive quakes are included.

• Many earthquakes are associated with volcanoes.

• Most earthquakes occur along the edge of tectonic plates.

• Volcanoes tend to erupt along convergent and divergent plate boundaries.

• However, they may also be close to where the earthquakes can be found. Global maps of earthquakes successfully demonstrate the location of the earthquake.

• The quake dots are colored, and you can examine how deep the earthquakes were.
