Where is Largest belt of active earthquakes and volcanoes?
The Ring of Fire is the largest belt of active earthquakes and volcanoes. It stretches along the edges of the Pacific Ocean and is known for its frequent seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates in the region. Countries such as Japan, Indonesia, and Chile are part of the Ring of Fire.
In what region have damaging earthquakes been concentrated?
Damaging earthquakes have been concentrated in regions along tectonic plate boundaries, known as "the Ring of Fire." This area includes the Pacific Ocean basin, where several major tectonic plates converge, leading to frequent seismic activity and significant earthquakes. Other regions with high earthquake activity include the Himalayan belt, the Alpine-Himalayan belt, and parts of the Mediterranean region.
About 80 percent of all earthquakes occur in a belt around the?
About 80 percent of all earthquakes occur in a belt around the Pacific Ocean known as the Ring of Fire. This area is characterized by high tectonic activity due to the movement of several tectonic plates, leading to frequent seismic events. The Ring of Fire is home to a majority of the world's active volcanoes as well.
When a range of mountains can be measured tens to hundreds of kilometers in length as well as width and is located near an active tectonic plate boundary or coast it is called a?
When a range of mountains is tens to hundreds of kilometers in length and width, located near an active tectonic plate boundary or coast, it is called a mountain belt or mountain range.
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.
Why earthquakes are common in the belt of young fold mountain?
because it is a fold mountain...some humor is good in life.:)
A large belt of mountain ranges and volcanoes surrounds the pacific ocean. Which events are most closely associated with these mountains and volcanoes?
Earthquakes
Are earthquakes common in south and central Asia?
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.
What percentage of earthquakes comes from the largest earthquake belt?
81% of earthquakes
Do earthquakes also occur outside the earthquake belt?

Which mountain belt lies to the north of India?
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.
