Two major Earthquake zone of The World
The geographical distribution of earthquakes subject to certain geological conditions of control, with a certain regularity. Earthquake mostly in unstable parts of the earth's crust, particularly the demise of a boundary between plates, forming an active seismic zone seismic activity. Mainly in two global seismic belt area.
First, the circum-Pacific seismic belt, including North and South America along the Pacific coast, the Aleutian Islands, the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Kuril Islands, the Japanese archipelago, the Philippines, Taiwan, and then turned to the southeast until New Zealand, is the planet most seismically active areas, focus more than 80% of the world's earthquakes. The band is on the boundary of the Pacific Plate and the demise of American plate, the Eurasian plate, the demise of the Indian plate boundary, the Antarctic Plate and American plate.
Second Himalaya - Mediterranean seismic belt, roughly from western Indonesia, Myanmar by Chinese mountain range, the Himalayas, crossed the Pamirs, through Central Asia and reach the Mediterranean coast. The band is on the demise of the border Eurasian and African plates, the Indian plate.
