Something that my peers noticed that I did not related to the age of the seafloor; the older seafloor is closer to the boundary while the younger seafloor is away from these boundaries.

Earthquakes occur at all limits. It is interesting to know that in most of the limits the age of the seabed is young and they are located in the ocean.

We can see that there are volcanoes at the edges of most continents and follow a pattern of being at the very edges. This makes sense since we know that a significant chunk of volcanoes occur at the boundary of tectonic plates. The ones that are close together and at the border of continents are likely from subduction zones.

  • Volcanoes seem to be present along all boundaries but not evenly distributed, there are regions with lots of them and some where there are barely any. Parts where the plate boundaries lie under islands or the continents seem to have the most volcanoes, while the sea parts are mostly empty. the thing I did notice is that the volcanoes appear…

  • Although volcanoes are present at nearly all boundaries, there are some plate boundaries in which volcanoes are more commonly found. For example, there are more volcanoes running along the Pacific Plate than there are volcanoes running along the African Plate. The distribution of the volcanoes in high-concentrated areas such as the Pacific…

  • Volcanoes are found at almost all the plate boundaries on Earth, however there is a significantly larger amounts at some plate boundaries over others. Where volcanoes are very common, they tend to be distributed linearly along the line of the plate boundary and are relatively close together. There are some volcanoes that form a bit farther from…
