e.g. Earthquakes are mostly found
along tectonic plate boundaries
e.g. Such as along the western coast of the USA where the North American & Pacific plates meet
e.g. This is because at tectonic plate
boundaries, stress and friction builds up due to convergent & divergent movement
e.g. Therefore you are more likely to find
earthquakes when the stress builds too much, whereas in areas away from plate boundaries there are likely to be fewer earthquakes.
