The occurrence of earthquakes from the map plotted is in specific regions especially at the edges of plates. Earthquakes occur in this places because of the constant movement of plates.
Earthquakes from the map plotted to follow a detectable arrangement which is on the edges of plates where they collide as they move.
The high-risk zones are along the plate edges, along with the alpine fault, northwest island of Auckland, and south-east south of Dunedin in New Zealand.
The occurrence of the earthquakes and the volcanic activities are connected in that all are taking place in the same setting. For example, earthquake and two volcanic activities took place at Alaska, and in the Cocos plate, there is the occurrence of the same showing a possible connection of earthquake and volcanoes.
There is a relationship between the Earthquakes, the volcanic activity, and the position of the tectonic plates. Almost all of them occur along plate edges and also near the ocean.
At a divergent plate boundary, we would expect to see both volcanic and earthquake activity because of the plates moving away from each other. When the continental crust stretches beyond its limits, tension cracks appear, magma rises and squeezes through, sometimes erupting volcanoes.
At a convergent plate boundary, we would also expect to see both volcanic and earthquake activity. At convergent boundaries, plates are moving toward each other, and sometimes one plate sinks under another. Because of this, earthquake activity and volcanic activity are frequent.
At a transform plate boundary, we would expect to see earthquake activity. At transform boundaries, two plates slide past each other and cause shallow earthquakes.
The depth of the earthquake does seem to be less than other at transform plate boundaries. For example, nearby Canada is a plotted earthquake with a depth of 1-33 kilometers.
