Geography
There is more deep water south of the equator.  Shallow water is close to land.  More mountains in the East in North America. 

Platetectonics
There are not many old plates.  Africa is almost surrounded by new forming plates.  We will eventually become one continent again.  The rocks are alive!

Sizemology
New plates have shallow earthquakes.  Europe has a large blob of shallow earthquakes.  Japan has deep earthquakes. 

Volcanology
Iceland has a lot of volcanoes or somewhere so tiny.  North America has volcanoes lined on the East side of it. 

Pacific Plate
On the rim of the Pacific Plate there is the most volcanoes and also has the most earthquakes there.  There is new land forming in that area.  There is also deep water but the floor is becoming new land.  Hawaii is an old volcano.
