Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep-hypocentre earthquakes are associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two plates are colliding, with one plate subducting beneath the other. This results in the release of energy, which causes earthquakes. The depth of these earthquakes ranges from 70 km to over 700 km below the surface.
