Question

Which boundary causes EARTHQUAKES?

a
divergent
b
transform
c
sea-floor spreading
d
convergent

Answer 1

Convergent

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be convergent because it's where the two plates are colliding with each other. Often this leads to earthquakes.

Divergent occurs when the plates are diverging away from each other and this wouldn't cause an earthquake because they are not interacting.

Answer 2

B

Explanation: Plates can move past each other in the same plane at a boundary. This type of boundary is called a transform boundary. This type of boundary is dominated by strike-slip faulting although other types of faulting may be observed. Where two plates slide past each other, earthquakes originate at shallow depths.
