Earthquakes ofetn occur on plate boundaries. Usually in Japan, Peru, Thailand although we have had some in Macnhester, Kent and Birmingham.

4 At what type of plate boundary do you find most deep-focus earthquakes?

The most deep focused earthquakes would be found at transform boundaries. The shallow focused earthquakes would be found at Divergent boundaries. And the intermediate focused earthquakes would be found at Convergent boundaries. By: A ninth grader.


Why are earthquakes so difficult to predict?

Earthquakes are difficult to predict because they are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, which is complex and constantly changing. Scientists have not yet found a reliable way to accurately forecast when and where earthquakes will occur.


What type of plate boundary are most earthquakes found at?

All three type of Earthquakes (Shallow-seated, Medium-seated and Deep-seated) occur only at the Convergent plate boundary. At divergent plate boundary we find mostly Shallow-seated Earthquakes only.


What did grove Gilbert discover about earthquakes?

Grove Gilbert discovered that earthquakes can occur due to fault movements along tectonic plates. He also found that earthquakes can produce surface displacements and mapped how faults move during earthquakes. Additionally, Gilbert contributed to the understanding of how seismic waves travel and interact with the Earth's interior.


Are earthquakes always caused by tectonic plates?

Most earthquakes occur due to the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines. However, they can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, or human activities like mining or reservoir-induced seismicity.
