This document discusses 10 locations around the world where significant earthquakes are expected based on past earthquake activity and tectonic plate boundaries. These locations include areas near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia; the Ryukyu Islands below Japan; Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands; fault lines in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; Ecuador and Peru; Chile; the California Transform Fault; and the Himalayan mountain range. The document also notes that the hardest earthquakes to predict are the exact locations, but risk can be assessed based on history and plate tectonics. Areas around the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire" and along convergent and transform plate boundaries often see major quakes. Chile

5. Questions What have I learned about earthquakes and earthquake prediction? I have learned that it is very hard to pick where exactly the next earthquake will hit, but we can predict where one might happen based on where they have happened before, where fault lines are, and where convergent and transform boundaries are. What factors influence earthquake prediction? Where they have happened before, where tectonic plates’ edges are/ fault lines are, and where convergent and transform boundaries are. Where on Earth do most of the really big earthquakes strike? Around convergent and transform boundaries.

6. The Big One Is, I predict, by Chile, as there have been so many there, and there is a long stretch of convergent boundary there. http://www.earth.webecs.co.uk/
