A. it is near a subduction zone
B. the shallow earthquakes will be closer to the trench than deeper ones
C. the depth pattern of earthquakes can be used to determine which way the slab is inclined
D. this area has the potential for large earthquakes
E. all of the above
Answer: E. all of the above

Respuesta :

Option (e), The right response is all of the aforementioned things you conclude about a region if it experiences shallow, mid, and deep earthquakes.

What may be concluded about a region based on its shallow, moderate, and deep earthquake activity?

  • There is a subduction zone nearby.
  • Deeper earthquakes will be farther from the trench than shallow ones.
  • The direction the slab is inclined can be determined from the depth pattern of earthquakes.
  • There is a chance of significant earthquakes in this region.

Deep and shallow earthquakes are both brought on by what?

Depending on the subduction zone, shallow to 700 km deep earthquakes can occur at convergent plate borders. Where the two plates clash, earthquakes occur, as well as in deformation zones on the overriding plate and on the subducting slab deeper in the mantle.

In the subduction zone, why do earthquakes happen?

The belt is located close to where oceanic crusted plates are subducting beneath other plates, or where the tectonic plate boundaries occur. Earthquakes in these subduction zones are primarily caused by plate slipping and plate rupture.
