What plate boundaries experience the deepest earthquakes?

yes
Which plate boundaries experience the deepest earthquakes and why?
Convergent plate boundaries where subduction occurs experience the deepest earthquakes. This is because in a subduction zone one (oceanic) lithospheric plate is being forced beneath another down into the mantle. Stresses build up within the descending pate at great depth causing earthquakes with focusses at much greater depths than earthquakes at other plate boundaries.
Why do you experience earthquakes?
People experience earthquakes because the earth's massive tectonic plates below the earth's surface temporarily move around and collide into eachother. When this happens, the land that we built on top of the plates moves as well, witch results in buildings crumbling and roads splitting. They are not pleasant, but thankfully, earthquakes only happen near the earth's plate boundaries which are located around the pacific, so those that live in North America are not effected by earthquakes.
