Fault Lines

Most major earthquakes occur along subduction zones. By looking at a fault line/ Plate tectonics Map, one can see earthquakes which fault lines would affect Peru or Micronesia. For example, any earthquake along the Mariana Trench with a magnitude of 7 or higher are likely to cause a tsunami.
