The search results do not provide specific details about what "they" refers to or what exactly "map 1" is showing in your query. However, based on the context from the results:
- "They" are situated near bodies of ocean according to one answer referring to "map 1"
- Another answer suggests "map 1" could be related to locations in the United States (specifically "hilagang Amerika/USA")
- There is mention of a "Study Map 1" showing the distribution of earthquakes, which might indicate that "map 1" could be a map showing earthquake locations
- Additionally, there is an antipodes map tool (Map 1 and Map 2) that shows locations on Earth and their diametrically opposite points on the globe, which could be related if "map 1" is part of this tool
Without more precise context or a visual of "map 1," the best general answer is that "they" are situated near oceans or coastal areas, possibly in the USA or related to earthquake distribution, depending on the subject of the map. If you can clarify what "they" refers to or provide more details about "map 1," I can give a more accurate answer.
