Explain the relationship between worldwide earthquake distribution and tectonic boundaries
Earthquakes and volcanoes both result from the movement of tectonic plates. The movement of the plates relative to each other distorts the crust in the region of the boundaries creating systems of earthquake faults.
Describe the temperature at the equator versus temperature at the poles
Hotter at the equator- Sun hits directly - Colder at poles because the Sun hits at an angle

What is the difference between...radiation, conduction and convection
conduction: heat or electricity moving from one place to another
convection: transfer of heat caused by molecular motion
radiation: transfer of energy through electromagnetic rays
