In subduction zones.
if such a pattern exist, could you use it to determine where high risk earthquakes zones are located?
The majority of earthquake zones are located at tectonic pate boundaries because it is the relative motion of the plates that causes earthquakes.
In Subduction zones.
San Francisco, San Jose, Los angeles, Long Beach San Diego and Sacramento are also near earthquake zones but do not have nearly the level of threat as the 4 listed above
Chile is located on a tectonic plate boundery and a subduction zone called the Peru-Chile trench. Very violent earthquakes happen at subduction zones.
Indonesia is located near the borders of the Eurasian and Indo-Australian Tectonic Plate zones. Subduction will happen from the plates rubbing together causing earthquakes in Indonesia
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
California is known for earthquakes in the United States. Earthquakes are usually found around tectonic plate boundaries. For example the Pacific Ring of Fire.
