I had a look at the site of Veðurstofa Íslands (Met Office) and saw a good example of earthquakes lined up in a familiar way.
As the tectonic framework is mainly derived from mantle currents, the alignment of earthquakes can sometimes be calculated:
I have inserted the formula for the convection cell alignment and the relevant line for the direction. Sure it fits!

I have a BS degree in geology, BA in anthropology, graduated in Chinese language and as a certified tourist guide. I provide this website about my contribution to answer the greatest question remaining about our Earth. I have analyzed the convection rolls within the Earth's mantle and how they affect the surface. This makes it possible to provide many interesting examples about geology found on my blog.
