Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep-focus earthquakes are primarily associated with convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another in a process known as subduction. This can lead to earthquakes at various depths, including deep-focus earthquakes that occur at depths greater than 300 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
