How are volcanoes distributed in the map are they scattered evenly or concentrated in zones?
Volcanoes are in concentrated zones.
Are volcanoes evenly distributed or concentrated in zones?
Volcanoes are more frequent around the "ring of fire", by japan, California, Australia, and Alaska.
How are the volcanoes distributed on the map Are they scattered evenly or concentrated in zones?
They are concentrated in zones - specifically at or near convergent and divergent tectonic plate boundaries. There are a few exceptions that can occur within tectonic plates which are thought to be caused by mantle plumes which create hot spots. An example would be the Hawaiian Island chain which has formed roughly in the centre of the pacific plate.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
What kind of volcanoes form along subduction zones?
Usually composite volcanoes. subduction zone volcanos usually form steep sided composite cones composed primarily of andesite

How volcanoes distributed?
Volcanoes are distributed in concentrated zones.
How many volcanos are there in the Andes?
It is difficult to answer exact number of volcanoes but these are distributed into four volcanic zones Northern, Southern, Central and Austral volcanic zones.
How are volcanoe's distributed?

Are volcanoes scattered randomly or are they in concentrated zones?
Volcanoes tend to form mainly along the edges of tectonic plates, or where the magma is particularly thin or weak.
What kind of volcanoes form along subduction zones?
Usually composite volcanoes. subduction zone volcanos usually form steep sided composite cones composed primarily of andesite
When studying seismic records from all over the globe what did scientists find out about the pattern of earthquakes?
Many earthquakes are concentrated in narrow zones along plate boundaries.
