Abstract—This paper is grounded on the following hypotheses put forth by the author: “Earthquake is a phenomenon that can only occur in the lithosphere (made up of various types of rocks and sedimentary matter)." "Places where earthquakes occur are the extensions of the lithosphere from the earth’s crust to underground,” “if earthquakes occur in the extensions of the lithosphere, then the earthquake data show where the extensions of the lithosphere located on the earth’s crust and underground.” “Magma is formed by the condensation of superheated underground atmospheric steam in the pits, cavities and beds of the underground lithosphere and is scattered around the mantle of the earth in the form of magma oceans / seas / lakes”. “The earthquake is a result of magma movements," to illustrate these hypotheses, a world earthquake map is prepared for every 5 km based on global earthquake data taken from the National Earthquakes Information Center (NEIC). Earthquake locations on these maps are digitized as roughly 5 km layers. The analyses and evaluations based on the superposed world earthquake map which is created by combining all the layers and on the sections, the graphics and the model of the map are presented in this paper.
