Part 3 Step 2 Question 2 cont.
What do you notice about the distribution of these earthquakes?
I notice that most earthquakes occur along the boundaries of the plates.

Part 3 Step 2 Question 3 cont.
How does the distribution of these Earthquakes compare to others?
These Earthquakes are mainly in groupings by Convergent Boundaries (red lines), and are mainly by oceans.

Part 3 Step 2 Question 5 cont.
What type of plate boundary is associated with earthquakes that have a magnitude of 7.0 or greater?
They are mostly near Convergent Boundaries.

Overall Analysis
What have you learned?
I have learned that although scientists cannot make 100% accurate predictions on when earthquakes will occur, technology allows them to map out and estimate when there are significant quakes coming.

Overall Analysis
What are some factors that influence earthquake prediction?
Some factors that influence earthquake prediction are weather, location, and the type of technology that is available.

Overall Analysis
Where do most significant earthquakes occur?
Most significant earthquakes occur along convergent plate boundaries.
