Plate Tectonics in the Movies
Imagine you have been hired as a scientific consultant to a movie production company. The movie company is getting ready to film several big movies and some of them will include scenes of earthquakes and volcanoes. They need to find places on Earth to film their movies that will be authentic—that is, they need locations where large earthquakes and volcanoes really do take place.
they want to find two separate locations:
1. one where shallow, large magnitude earthquakes are frequently found,
2. and, one where large steep volcanoes that have explosive eruptions are found.
Identify locations on Earth that will meet these two needs. One place for the earthquakes and one place for the volcanoes.
