Plate Tectonics Lab - 2

Map: Volcanology
Group: Brooke, Kristin, Daniel, Emily

Observations:
Volcanos loosely occur along the plate boundaries.
The volcanos along the coast of Alaska occurring out into the ocean follow an underwater mountain range.
Volcanos occur more frequently along the coast of the Pacific Ocean.
No volcanos occur where the large deposits of oil reserves are in western coast of South America, eastern Africa, and northeast in Saudi Arabia.
Volcanos occur frequently along with the deepest seismic activity.
Iceland has a large concentration of volcanos.
Volcanos are occurring frequently in northwestern Africa around Ethiopia due to the rift of two opposing mountain ranges.
