How are earthquakes distributed on a world map?
Its distributed in many diffrent ways
How are earthquakes distributed on the map Are they scattered evenly or concentrated in zones?
They are concentrated in zones - specifically at or near tectonic plate boundaries.
How are earthquakes distributed on the map are they scattered evenly over earth's surface are they connected in definite zone?
They are most common at plate boundaries.
How are earthquakes distributed the map?
Earthquakes usually occur at plate boundaries, e.g. Pacific Ring of Fire, where the plate collide into each other and create shockwaves that rock Earth's surface.See related question for more details.

Does Cuba get earthquakes?
yes, Cuba does get earthquakes! check on "plate boundaries map"

Why is an earthquakes risk map useful?
They're not.
How do geologists learn about the blocks of rock along a fault move?
They map the earthquakes intensity and where the past earthquakes were.

How have earthquake patterns been used to support the theory of plate tectonics?
Scientists agree that earthquakes occur at tectonic plate boundaries. If you were to map out the epicenters of earthquakes across the globe, you would see patterns. They tend to line up, rather than be evenly distributed. In fact, looking at the Pacific Ocean in particular, you see that these earthquake occurrences can even be connected, one to the next, to form a ring - the edges of a tectonic plate.
How are earthquakes distributed among the four quadrants of the globe?
Earthquake distribution is not related to quadrants (which are an imaginary construct).
