The deepest earthquakes occur in subduction zones at oceanic-oceanic plate convergent boundaries.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subduction zones at oceanic-oceanic plate convergent boundaries are areas where one oceanic plate is forced underneath another, creating a deep trench. The friction and pressure generated during this process can lead to the formation of deep earthquakes, some of which can occur at depths of several hundred kilometers.
