MAPPING EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES

Guiding Question: Is there a pattern in the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes?

Hypothesis: Yes, especially in the volcanoes because most of the volcano latitude is north. And that is the same for earthquakes.

Mapping Earthquakes and Volcanoes Picture (already plotted)

Analysis and conclude: How are earthquakes distributed on the map? Are they scattered evenly or concentrated in zones? How are volcanoes distributed on the map? Are they scattered evenly or concentrated in zones? 

If you look at a tectonic map and you place volcanoes and earthquakes on them you notice that they happen on the edge (about) of a tectonic plate. In fact plates can make volcanoes or mountain ranges by or cause earthquakes once they pass each other. Volcanoes are found near edges of plates and most of them are found at the Northern hemisphere because most of them are around the Ring on Fire. My map is not updated every 11 seconds (time which every earthquake happens), but that is the general idea.

More to explore: On a map of the World, locate active volcanoes and areas of earthquake activity. Determine the distance from your house to the nearest active volcano.

I found the distance between Belgrade, Serbia to Mt. Etna, Sicily, Italy. It is long 2,067 km and it takes 21hr.s and 5 min.s. 

1) Belgrade (starting for Bulevar Oslobodenja)

2) After 3km and 350 meters, you enter Croatia

3) After 112 km you enter Slovenia

4) Once you drove for 483 km you are in Italy
