Where do most earthquakes occur near mid-ocean ridges?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most earthquakes near mid-ocean ridges occur along the axis of the ridge and on transform faults that connect ridge segments. This is because the movement of plates at mid-ocean ridges creates tension and pressure along these faults, leading to seismic activity. Earthquakes at great depths (A) or in the asthenosphere (C) are less common in this region. While earthquakes may also occur on the boundary between the mantle and oceanic crust (D), this is not the most frequent location for earthquakes near mid-ocean ridges.
