How Are Earthquakes Distributed on the Map?Earthquakes are not scattered evenly across Earth’s surface. Instead, they are concentrated in definite zones, especially along the boundaries of tectonic plates.--- Key Points:- Most earthquakes occur along fault lines or plate boundaries.- Common zones include: - The Pacific Ring of Fire (around the Pacific Ocean) - The Himalayan region - The western coasts of North and South America- These areas are where plates collide, slide, or move apart, causing intense seismic activity.---So if you look at a global map, you’ll see earthquake epicenters forming patterns along these edges, not randomly scattered.
