Types of plate boundries?

The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart, creating new crust.

Which type of plate boundry produces the deepest earthquakes?

Subduction zones at convergent plate boundaries produce the deepest earthquakes. These occur when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another into the mantle, creating intense pressure and friction that can trigger earthquakes as deep as 700 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
