Earthquakes

Transform Magnitude: M4.1 Location: Latitude 4020'50.77"N Longitude 12437'8.02"W Date: Friday, March 14, 2014 Time: UTC16:32:35 Epicenter- 09:32:35 Depth: 11.74 mi Plate boundary: Ocean-Ocean, Transform Why you believe it is located on this type of tectonic boundary: It is on the coast of California, which is a very active moving fault. Divergent Magnitude: 6.8 M Location: Latitude 6050'31.55"S Longitude 1950'27.28"W Date: Tuesday, March 11 , 2014 Time: UTC02:44:05 Epicenter- 01:44:05 Depth: 6.21 mi Plate boundary: Ocean-ocean, divergent Why you believe it is located on this type of tectonic boundary: Google earth told me and you can see the gap on Google earth where the divergence is occurring. Continental-continental Magnitude: M 4.4 Location: Latitude 36 6'50.89"N Longitude 118 3'10.06"W Date: Thursday, March 13, 2014 Wednesday, March 12, 2014 Time: UTC- 02:11:04 Epicenter- 07:11:04 Depth: 0.06 mi Plate boundary: Continental-continental Why you believe it is located on this type of tectonic boundary: It is inland so that is why it is continent to continent.

Oceanic-continental Magnitude: M 4.5 Location: Latitude Longitude Date: Wednesday, March 12 , 2014 Time: UTC08:43:35 Epicenter- 12:43:35 Depth: 52.20 mi Plate boundary: Oceanic-continental Why you believe it is located on this type of tectonic boundary: It is right on the coast of Alaska which is a continent and the ocean is on its border, making it oceanic to continental. Oceanic- oceanic Magnitude: M 4.3 Location: Latitude 1924'13.30"N Longitude 67 3'7.31"W Date: Wednesday, March 12 , 2014 Time: UTC11:50:45 Epicenter- 07:50:45 Depth: 17.40 mi Plate boundary: Ocean-Ocean, transform Why you believe it is located on this type of tectonic boundary: Google earth told me it was transform, and since there is no land where earth quake occurred it is ocean to ocean.

Volcanoes
Composite Cotopaxi Plate boundary: continental-continental Why volcano is there: it is on a fault line which creates volcanoes.

HaleakalaShield Plate boundary: Hot spot Why volcano is there: It is a hot spot in the middle of the ocean the has kept on producing lava to create the Hawaiian island and this is one of them.

Masaya Cinder Cone Plate boundary: Continent-continent Why volcano is there: it is fairly close to a fault which is where most volcanoes occur.

Kaguyak- Alaska Peninsula Caldera Plate boundary: Oceanic- Continental Why volcano is there: the volcano collapsed in like shown in picture (collapsed is where the water is) which makes it a caldera.
