What is a mobile belt?
A mobile belt is an elongate, narrow region of crust experiencing tectonic activity (e.g. earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building). When a mobile belt becomes tectonically inactive it is known as an orogenic belt.
What events on earths surface tend to occur in the region more frequently then in other regions of the earth why do they occur here?
