7. Dear Mr. President, I would like to present to you my completed review on earthquakes. I have plotted many different earthquakes and volcanoes on a world map for a period of two weeks, looking for a pattern. I have come to believe that I have finally found this pattern to which the earthquakes and volcanoes form. This pattern shows earthquakes occurring around the “Ring of Fire,” a place prone to earthquakes and volcanoes (the “Ring of Fire” is located on the Pacific plate.) This is one reason I think that volcanoes may have a relationship with earthquakes. I have also learned that tectonic plate movement could be another cause of earthquakes because of the boundary movement of the plates. These boundaries have different names and movements, Convergent Boundaries, plates move together, usually forming mountains or mountain ranges. Next are the Divergent Boundaries. This is where the plates pull away from each other forming rift valleys both under and above water. The last boundary is the Transform Boundary, in which the plates slide against each other not forming or destroying plates but still causing earthquakes. I have very much enjoyed this time of learning and hope you approve of may work. I hope this will help with the conflict you have. Thank you for your time and I certainly hope this is as useful to you as it was for me! sincerely, Abigail S. 
