Frequency of earthquakes

Location of earthquakes
In this first earthquake diagram shown above, you can clearly see the linke between earthquake location and plate boundaries.
This next image comes from the IRIS earthquake browser which is free to use and allows users to zoom into a selected part of the world and view the earthquakes that have occurred in that location.
EARTHQUAKE DIAGRAMS

These earthquake diagrams look at the structure of the earth and explain plate tectonics. They go on to look at plate boundaries and fault lines and what happens before an earthquake and after an earthquake. We can see where earthquakes are located and compare earthquakes with volcanoes. We then go on to look at diagrams on the frequency of earthquakes and the economic losses caused.
