Volcanoes and earthquakes are distributed along the egdes of the plate
boundaries.
Three major belts:
Circum-Pacific belt
Mid-Atlantic Belt
Mid-Continental Belt
Volcanic Belts
region where high levels of volcanic activity occur.
Mid-Atlantic Ridge
part of the mid-atlantic belt, on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean
iceland to antartica
along the divergent plate boundaries
Pacific Ring of Fire
part of the circum-pacific belt
has 75% of the world's volcanoes
along transform and convergent plate boundaries
Volcanoes of the Alps, Mediterranean Sea Stromboli, Vesuvius, Etna),
Aegean Sea; Mt. Arat Turkey), Elburz, Hindukush.
part of the Mid-Continental Belt
Plate Boundaries 1
, long the convergent plate boundaries
Mountain Belt
a region with great Mountain Ranges.
How are volcanoes and earthquakes produced?
plates interact along their boundaries
these interaction produce geographical features and activities on Earth, such
as volcanoes and earthquakes.
Tectonic plates
15 to 20 moving tectonic plates
the plates move(very slowly) with respect to each other
the Philippine Sea Plate (east of the Philippines) is one of the smaller ones
