Question

earthquake depth
when scientists plotted data about depths of earthquakes on a world map a distinct distribution pattern developed. transform - faulting along divergent boundaries lets plates move in opposite directions. this creates a narrow band of shallow earthquakes along the faults. in an opposite way, convergent boundaries have wide earthquake zones. the shallowest focal points in these zones are near the surface at the point where the boundaries converge. the deepest focal points are inland, under volcanoes or mountains that are formed in the area where boundaries collide. the yellow stars in the diagram below show the depth at which earthquakes occur at different types of plate boundaries.
get it?

1. describe the relationship between earthquake depth and different plate boundaries.

Explanation:

At divergent plate boundaries, faulting causes shallow earthquakes in a narrow band. At convergent boundaries, earthquakes can occur at various depths with the deepest focal points under volcanoes or mountains formed by the collision. So, earthquake depth varies with plate - boundary type.

Answer:

At divergent boundaries, there are shallow earthquakes in a narrow band. At convergent boundaries, earthquakes can have a range of depths with the deepest under areas of collision - formed features.
