James learned about earthquakes occurring along tectonic plate boundaries, with magnitudes ranging from 1.0 to 8.0. Earthquake prediction depends on whether the plate boundary is inactive or very active. The largest earthquakes generally strike along convergent plate boundaries, such as those along South America. The top ten regions for major earthquakes are Western South America, Alaska, Western North America, Greece, the Eurasian plate, Mexico, Southern China, Eastern China, Southern South America, and Southern Canada.

3. What have you learned about earthquakes and earthquake prediction? I learned that earthquakes can be anywhere by a plate there could be many different magnitudes of them from 1.0 all the way up to an 8.0

4. What factors influence earthquake prediction? The influence of earthquake prediction is all about the two plates that can make one it could inactive or vary active place where earthquakes can occur

5. Where on Earth do most of the really big earthquakes strike They strike mostly on the convergent boundaries like the south American plate boundaries
