Earthquakes are sudden amazing of the earth due to release of energy in the lithosphere.
The global distribution of earthquakes can be depicted as:

Global distribution
Earthquakes in Iceland: S vocafem in nature
[Box:] Ocean - continental convergence at Pacific - Eurasian plate → Japan
[Box:] Earthquakes in Turkey, Italy
[Consequences associated]
[Box:] low density but confines earthquakes
