IS there anyway to determine what parts of the world are most prone to earthquakes?
earthquakes usually occur on plates' borders. You can look at the pattern of past earthquakes.
If such pattern does exist could you use it to determine where high risk earthquakes zones are located?
if such a pattern exist, could you use it to determine where high risk earthquakes zones are located?
Would the overall pattern of earthquakes and volcanoes change?
changes little in geological scale.
Are major crustal features like earthquakes volcanoes mountains and trenches found randomly on earths surface or is there a pattern?
There is a pattern. Mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes are found predominantly near plate boundaries. Trenches are found expluxively at subduction zones.
Can scientists predict when an earthquake will happen?
Nope - there is currently no scientific method for predicting earthquakes.
What did the pattern of earthquakes in the wadati-Benioff seafloor zones show?
Slabs of ocean floor return to the mantle in subduction zones
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.
Is there a pattern that an earthquake follows earthquakes?
Nothing. There is no pattern that follows earthquakes after an earthquake.
The seafloor magnetic pattern is best described as?
parallel to and symmetric about ocean ridges
Is a tsunami a type of weather?
No, tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or asteroid impacts, which then displace a massive amount of water, in the form of multiple tsunami waves. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and asteroids have nothing to do with the weather.
What does the pattern from a seismograph reveal?
that the earthquakes can and will ouccer in certen spots. it also show that there can be reppeded earthquakes in the same magnitued

The magnetic particles in seafloor ridges are aligned differently in a repeating pattern How does this provide evidence for tectonic movement Why does it provide evidence?
Earth's magnetic field reverses over time; the changes show that seafloor has taken place over time.
Are the earthquakes and volcanoes scattered all over the plates or is there a pattern?
there are several patterns
Would the overall pattern of earthquakes and volcanoes change?
changes little in geological scale.
Would the pattern of earthquakes and volcanoes change if locations of them were added to the map?
the pattern would not change and even if they did it would be mino changes
