The dinosaur commonly referred to as "terrible lizard" is the Tyrannosaurus rex. Its name derives from the Greek words "tyrannos," meaning tyrant, and "sauros," meaning lizard. The T. rex is known for its massive size, powerful jaws, and status as one of the top predators of its time, which contributes to its fearsome reputation. Another dinosaur with a name that implies "terrible" is Deinonychus, from the Greek for "terrible claw."

Most earthquakes occur along the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is along the top half of the pacific plate. +++ Perhaps the second major area is the Eastern Mediterranean and neighbouring countries, involving a complex of continental plates, with NE Africa rifting and the Mediterranean closing. "Top half of the Pacific plate". Actually, the Pacific floor consists of several plates, with some being subducted below SE Asia, and some below the Americas.
Alaska, California and Hawaii in that order have the most earthquakes in the US. California is particularly vulnerable to earthquakes because it is on top of where two of the Earth's tectonic plates meet: The Pacific plate and North American plate meet below California.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
Turkey sits on top of several internal faults within the Eurasian plate. It is the rubbing of these internal faults that produces the earthquakes.
