We can observe in the map that the plates movement varies either they move towards each other ( convergent plate boundaries), away from each other ( divergent plate boundaries) and slide past each other ( transform plate boundaries). The movement of these plates creates the mountain ranges, valleys, trenches and rifts deep in the ocean. They were able to plot which are the boundaries of the plates by observing the volcanic activities of these areas. I think the scientists basis in dividing the Earth's Lithosphere is the distribution of earthquake epicenters, location of active volcanoes and formation of Mountain ranges. What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing Earth's lithosphere into several plates? 3d Face Light Bulb Glowing 1090813 by Mopic. 3d Transparent Light Bulb Head 1114375 by Mopic.

There are a lot of earthquakes and volcanoes in the are because this is where the oceanic and continental plates meet. active volcanoes and mountain ranges overlaps in the map.įrom the observation, mountain ranges are forming because tectonic activities in these places are active. It can be observed that earthquake epicenters. How will you relate the Distribution of mountain ranges with the distribution of earthquake epicenters and volcanoes? The activity in the ground of these places are active. The location of the volcanoes is where earthquakes mostly occurs.įrom the observation it can be said that earthquakes are mostly present where there is a near volcano in the area. Compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters with the location of volcanoes around the world?Īs per comparing the map of earthquake epicenters with the map of active volcanoes, it can be observed that it overlaps.
