What occurs along ocean trenches but not along mid ocean ridges that accounts for the occurrence's of deep focus earthquakes?
Subduction of oceanic crust. The Earthquakes occur at depth in the descending slab.
What things occur along transform boundaries?
earthquakes
What type of earthquake occurs in mid ocean ridges?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at the mid ocean ridges because the thin lithosphere found there is to weak to allow a large amount of strain to build up and cause larger earthquakes.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
Where are volcano and earthquakes likely to occur?
Between plate or along fault lines.
What occurs along ocean trenches but not along mid ocean ridges that accounts for the occurrence's of deep focus earthquakes?
Subduction of oceanic crust. The Earthquakes occur at depth in the descending slab.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
What percent of earths earthquakes occur along the ring of fire?
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Where do seafloor hot springs occur?
Along the mid oceanic ridges.
What things occur along transform boundaries?
earthquakes
Where do the most severe earthquakes occur?
along a faultline
Where do earthquakes volcanoes and mountains occur along?
Along the tectonic plate boundaries.
What type of earthquake occurs in mid ocean ridges?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at the mid ocean ridges because the thin lithosphere found there is to weak to allow a large amount of strain to build up and cause larger earthquakes.
What are place earthquakes occur?
Anywhere along fault lines.
What is interpolate earthquake?
Earthquakes that occur along plate boundaries
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines
