I’ve realized many new unique series of volcanoes and earthquake, topography and seafloor-age. It was difficult for me to predict any of the age of the seafloor. Weather its faster or slower than others. Everything else was pretty much simple and clear.

We’ve all noticed that the distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes differs in that certain plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Plate, have more volcanoes and earthquakes than other plates. Furthermore, volcanoes and earthquakes follow different…[Read more]

Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Topography and Seafloor-age. When comparing with the reports of the peers of this lab, it has become paramount that the plate boundaries are dynamic, each plate shares its boundary with multiple other plates and all the volcanic or earthquake…[Read more]

The main ideas outlines all throughout Lab 3 is that volcanoes seem to be linear along plate boundaries. Earthquakes seem to be clustered and spread out evenly along the plate boundaries.
