Earthquakes 600

What role do plate boundaries play in the depths at which earthquakes occur?

A.They determine the depth of the earthquake because different types of plate boundaries are associated with particular depths.B.All plate boundaries are roughly at the same depth, so all earthquakes originate at the same depth.C.Earthquakes occur only at strike-slip (transform) plate boundaries, so they can only occur at shallow depths.D. Plate boundaries do not affect earthquake depths.

Earthquakes 600

A. They determine the depth of the earthquake because different types of plate boundaries are associated with particular depths.
