weak earthquakes
powerful earthquakes
where would you most likely find transform boundaries on an earthquake distribution map?
where earthquakes are shallow and weak
where earthquakes are shallow and powerful
where earthquakes are deep and weak
where earthquakes are deep and powerful
Transform boundaries involve horizontal sliding of tectonic plates. Earthquakes here are shallow (since movement is near the surface) and can be powerful (as plates lock and release energy suddenly). The diagram and plate tectonics theory support this: transform faults like the San Andreas have shallow, strong quakes. Shallow + powerful matches this.
