because it is a fold mountain...some humor is good in life.:)
81% of earthquakes
A mountain belt is the largest.Then the mountain system is the next largest.Last the mountain range.
YUR PARENTSSOOO FAT THAT SHE WEARS A BOOMERANG FOR A BELT
No it is not. In fact these states are the ones that have the most and strongest earthquakes Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, and California. The reason that you hear about California so much is because California it is right by the fault line. So the plates collide mostly on the border of the US, which is California.
It is called the Ring of Fire The "circum-Pacific seismic belt" is the actual name. It is also nicknamed the "Ring of Fire". The area is along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, and 81% of the world's earthquakes occur there. The area extends from Chile, in South America, north to New Zealand.
Earthquakes are common in the belt of young fold mountains because these regions are characterized by active tectonic plate movements. As the Earth's crust continues to deform and shift, accumulated stress is released in the form of earthquakes, especially in areas with recently formed or evolving mountain ranges like the Himalayas or the Andes. The collision and subduction of tectonic plates in these regions result in intense geological activity, making earthquakes a frequent occurrence.
They are TALL!!
Earthquakes
The Himalayas mountain belt lies to the north of India. It is a young fold mountain range that spans across several countries including India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China.
Yes, earthquakes are common in South and Central Asia due to the region being part of the seismically active Himalayan seismic belt. The Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate, leading to frequent tectonic activity and earthquakes in the area.

Mountain < Mountain range < Mountain system < Mountain belt.
A mountain system is larger than a mountain belt. A mountain belt typically refers to a linear range of mountains, while a mountain system encompasses multiple mountain ranges, plateaus, valleys, and other associated features within a larger geographic area.
a mountain belt is larger but some text books do not say the answer. i am only in the 6th grade
mountain range is bigger :)
Because it is!
