Earthquakes
The world appears strangely still from above, but every mountain range and crevasse on its face is a scar, with many telling a story of when the earth roared to life. Earthquakes happen all around the world. Although earthquakes have been recorded on all seven continents, the majority of them occur in just three areas: the mid-atlantic ridge, an underwater line that runs down the Atlantic Ocean, the alpide belt, which stretches from the Mediterranean to Southeast Asia, and the circum-pacific belt, which traces along the Pacific Ocean's edges and is where approximately 80% of all earthquakes occur. Because of what lurks beneath the surface, these locations are prone to earthquakes.
