identify the true statement. question 16 options: a) seafloor fracture zones are associated with frequent earthquakes. b) shallow-focus earthquakes are associated with divergent and transform boundaries; convergent plate boundaries also produce deep earthquakes. c) earthquakes never happen in the interior of plates, only at their boundaries. d) all of the possible answers are correct.

Respuesta :

The true statement is B. Shallow-focus earthquakes are associated with divergent and transform boundaries; convergent plate boundaries also produce deep earthquakes.

An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere, which generates seismic waves. It is also referred to as a quake, tremor, or temblor. Earthquakes can range in strength from those that are so small that no one can feel them to those that are powerful enough to throw things and people into the air, destroy vital infrastructure and devastate entire cities. The number, kind, and size of earthquakes that occur in a region over a specific time period is known as its seismic activity. The average rate of seismic energy release per unit volume is what is known as seismicity at a specific region on Earth. Tremors, which are not earthquakes, are also referred to as seismic rumbling.
