they are transmitted when the tectonic plates crash into each other, causing vibrations to occur and then transmitting it through the earth.

How is the transfer of energy as seismic waves related to the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes in an region?

Seismic waves transfer energy generated by earthquakes through the Earth's crust. The frequency of earthquakes in a region is related to the tectonic activity and fault lines present, with more active regions experiencing higher frequency of earthquakes. The magnitude of earthquakes is related to the amount of energy released during the event, with higher magnitudes indicating a greater release of energy.
