What types of plate boundaries are associated with deep earthquakes?
All of them. For example: the earthquake of 2010 in Chile happened along a convergent fault while the 2010 earthquake in Haiti happened along a transform fault. Source: I am just a genius...
How do earthquakes happen-?
Earthquakes happen when under the ground rocks break at a fault. The rocks then break it release of energy which causes semi waves.
Which type of boundary lacks volcanic activity but has a large amount of earthquakes?
Transform fault
What occurs at a fault line that causes an earthquake?
The fault line is basically a separation of the plates in the earth and when they shift. They rub together causing the vibrations known as Earthquakes or tremors.
How did Haiti get an earthquake?
Because going through the middle of haiti is a fault line so he fault line causes earthquakes when the two plates on each side move.

How do faults relate to earthquakes?
A sudden slip on a fault causes earthquakes. When the sides of a fault are pressed together due to stresses on the earth's outer layer, it slips and releases energy in waves that travel along the earth's crust, which causes the shaking during an earthquake.
How many earthquakes occur along the San Andreas fault annually?
Movement along the fault causes earthquakes; several thousand occur annually, although only a few are of moderate or higher magnitude.
