The Mediterranean-Trans-Asian earthquake belt is a major seismic region extending from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to Southeast Asia in the east. It is characterized by high seismic activity due to the collision of tectonic plates, primarily the Eurasian and African plates. This region is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.
