Tectonic Plates and Boundaries:The Earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates that are constantly moving. Where these plates interact, at plate boundaries, is where most earthquakes occur. "Ring of Fire":The Pacific "Ring of Fire" is a prime example of an area with intense seismic activity due to numerous subduction zones (where one plate slides under another). Stable Interiors:Areas far from plate boundaries, like the interiors of continents or stable plates, tend to experience fewer earthquakes. Specific Examples:Northernmost Asia (Russia): While Russia has some seismic activity, it's less concentrated than in regions along the Pacific Rim. Parts of Europe: Southern Europe, particularly around the Mediterranean, is more seismically active due to plate interactions, while the interior of Europe is relatively stable. Eastern South Korea: South Korea is located on the Eurasian plate, which is less seismically active than the Philippine Mobile Belt where Japan is located. West Africa: Africa is largely situated on the stable African plate, with less plate boundary interaction compared to other regions. Africa's Rift:The East African Rift System is a notable exception, where the African plate is splitting, causing earthquakes in countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. South Korea:South Korea is on the Eurasian plate, which is less active than the Pacific plate, and is also shielded by Japan, which absorbs some of the seismic energy before it reaches Korea.
