Of those there is only one actually on the Atlantic ridge. The others are generally in the Atlantic area.

How do you feel these are linked? I am not getting the connection.
thanks

The Atlantic ridge, whether it is the “southern” “mid” or “north” stretches from just north of the antartic till past the north pole connecting to the pacific plate.

Their is a detour or fracture just to the north of the virgin islands stretching to the north of Puerto Rico.

The north african quakes in my estimation are clearly a result of the action along the mid atlantic ridge.

This will give you perspective.
