You will notice that two of the longitudes given are 180°E/W. How can a longitude be both east and west? 3. Which continents are stable and unlikely to experience quakes? 4° Make a list of countries that are prone to earthquakes. 5 Which cities are likely to experience frequent quakes? 6 Compare the locations you have plotted with a map that shows Earth’s tectonic plates. 7. How does the locaton ofthe plotted earthquakes compare with the boundaries of the plates? 8 What is the link between earthquakes and plate boundaries? 9 Some quakes occur under water but can still cause massive damage and loss of life.

Use a highlighter to emphasise the ring on your diagram. 4 How can you identify whether a volcano is due to a hot spot? 5 With another highlighter, emphasise any volcanoes that you think are due to hot spots 6 Hotspot voleanoes often move. Explain how: 7 ‘The Hawaiian islands comprise the major islands Kauai in the far west, then Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and the island of Hawaii in the east. All sit on the Pacific Plate, which is moving steadily westward. Which of the islands would be the oldest and which would show the most voleanic activity?
