                    Where on Earth do most volcanoes and earthquakes happen?
                    1  Look at this map. Each red triangle shows a volcano.

                    Write one or two sentences about where most volcanoes happen.

                    2  Now look at this map. The blue parts show places where earthquakes
                       happen. Darker blue parts have bigger earthquakes.
