Distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenter, and major

mountain belts.
Distribution of earthquake
- They tend to occur in the boundaries of each lithospheric plate.
- Philippines was built by subduction of Eurasian plate and Philippine plate.
Distribution of active volcanoes
- Volcano is the opening in the earths crust through which lava, volcanic ash,
and gasses escape.
- Volcano are produced by plate tectonics
- Most of the number of volcanoes can be seen on the plate boundaries
- Most of the volcanoes are located on the ring of fire.
- Countries lying near the plate boundaries are prone to geologic events
(Japan,ph,Mexico)
- Countries lying far from the plate boundaries do not have volcano.
Distribution of mountain belts in the world
- Mountain range is a group or chain of mountains located close together.
- Mountain belt often share same geological origins
- Mountain ranges are formed by a variety of geological processes
- The process of mountain building is called “OREGENY” oros(mountain)
Genesis(creation)
