Question

Select all that apply

Earthquakes are concentrated along:

Mid-Atlantic ridge
ocean shorelines
deep ocean trenches
lithosphere plate boundaries
areas of sedimentation

Answer 1

The answer is, "Lithosphere plate boundaries."

Most earth quakes occur in the upper 10-12 miles of the earth crust as the result of failure on faults caused by the strains induced by plate motions.

Answer 2

lithosphere plate boundaries

Step-by-step explanation:

The planet Earth is covered by a layer formed by land and rocks called the earth's crust or lithosphere. This crust is not smooth and uniform, but rather irregular and composed of tectonic plates, also called lithosphere plates. These plates are not fixed as they are under the magma (high temperature molten rock).

These tectonic plates are in constant movement, exerting pressure on each other. Many earthquakes are caused by the energy released by the collision between these plates. Inhabited regions, which are located in these areas, receive the greatest impact from these earthquakes, because earthquakes concentrate on the boundaries of the lithosphere plate.
