|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
- CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Common: when the ground shakes
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
where I am (seismic waves)
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Scientific: when the ground breaks along a fault (seismic source)
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Seismic wave? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔An elastic wave in the
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Earth, usually generated by an earthquake source or explosion
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/

, Do earthquakes around the world occur in a distinct pattern? -
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Yes
|/ |/ |/
Earthquakes and volcanoes? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Most |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
earthquakes and volcanoes are along the edges of tectonic
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
plates. Earthquakes simply caused by interaction of plates while
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
volcanoes caused by movement of magma. Earthquakes and
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
volcanoes happen to occur in the same place but are generally
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
not directly related with the exception of some instances.
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Ring of Fire? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The Ring of Fire is a string
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
of volcanoes and sites of seismic activity, or earthquakes, around
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
the edges of the Pacific Ocean. Roughly 90% of all earthquakes
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
occur along the Ring of Fire, and the ring is dotted with 75% of
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
all active volcanoes on Earth. Chile (1960) and Japan (2011)
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/

Where do earthquakes occur? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Most
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.... Ex:
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
range in the world. Or the deep sea trenches of the NE Pacific
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
Lecture 2 Main Points? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1. Earthquakes
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
occur in a distinct pattern
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/
2. Pattern is similar for EQ and Volcanoes
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
3. EQ occur along major ocean features
|/ |/ |/ |/ |/ |/
like ridges and trenches
