because the magma gets so hot in these areas that it spew up using the vents. It is shallow because that is where the magma is the hottest- aka only magma that can make it through the hydrothermal vents penis

Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
What boundary do shallow earthquakes occur?
divergent
Is divergent plate movement associated with the strongest earthquakes?
Although earthquakes can occur anywhere on the planet with little or no warning, the strongest earthquakes occur near the plate boundaries, as the plates converge (collide), diverge (move away from another)
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.
Is an earthquakes a convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Where do shallow earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
What boundary do shallow earthquakes occur?
divergent
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
What plate boundary do earthquakes usually occur on?
earthquakes only happen at the edge of tectonic plates because of them moving which causes the 'quake' so there are never any BIG earthquakes in the UK because it is in the middle of a tectonic plate
Is divergent plate movement associated with the strongest earthquakes?
Although earthquakes can occur anywhere on the planet with little or no warning, the strongest earthquakes occur near the plate boundaries, as the plates converge (collide), diverge (move away from another)
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
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.
Do trenches occur at divergent boundaries?
that is false
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
