earthquakes
When there's a gigantic earthquake, why doesn't the shaking start a cavalcade of earthquakes worldwide?
I mean, the tectonic plates around the world are always under pressure until enough builds to break them loose (thus the earthquake), so why don't huge earthquakes shake things up enough to "help" quakes break loose all over?
I know. Go ahead. Laugh at my simplistic views of plate tectonics and my obvious lack of knowledge thereof. It's OK. I just want to hear what people say.
The answer is pretty simple if you think about it. It's happened before but of course it wasn't world wide. The deeper and more powerful an earthquake is the more likely it is to trigger more earthquakes. One earthquake creating havoc on the world isn't among us. It's in the skies. If for some reason a large astroid struck earth it would most likely do something similar to triggering just about every fault that is ready to be triggered worldwide!

The pattern of earthquakes around the world outlines what features?
The pattern of earthquakes around the world outlines what features? That is, if you look at the map of earthquakes you should notice that the earthquakes occur almost in lines (or zones) that surround areas of the Earth that have few earthquakes. The earthquakes thus outline these areas. What are the areas with few earthquakes called?
Im not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but the paten is called the ring of fire.
