Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Earthquakes can occur along all types of plate boundaries, including divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. The location and type of earthquake will depend on the specific characteristics of the plate boundary, such as the direction and rate of plate movement. While some earthquakes may also occur near hotspots or along passive margins, the majority of earthquakes are associated with plate tectonics and occur along plate boundaries.
