Answer 4

The Mediterranean-Asian Belt, also known as the Alpide Belt, is an earthquake zone due to the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. The convergence of these plates has led to intense tectonic activity, including earthquakes, as the plates continue to push against each other and generate significant pressure and stress along fault lines. This region is characterized by a complex network of faults that are prone to rupturing and triggering seismic events.
