The distribution of mountain ranges, earthquake epicenters, and volcanoes is closely linked to tectonic plate boundaries. Mountain ranges often form at convergent boundaries where plates collide, leading to seismic activity and the formation of earthquakes. Similarly, volcanic activity is prevalent at both convergent boundaries, where one plate subducts beneath another, and at divergent boundaries, where plates pull apart. This geological interplay results in a spatial correlation among mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanoes, particularly along the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific.
