Question

Select all that apply.

Earthquakes are concentrated along:
areas of sedimentation
deep ocean trenches
Mid-Atlantic ridge
lithosphere plate boundaries
ocean shorelines

Answer 1

Mid-Atlantic ridge, deep ocean trenches, and lithosphere plate boundaries

Answer 2

Lithosphere plate boundaries

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct choice is lithosphere plate boundaries

• Most earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
• A great deal of stress is concentrated and a great deal of strain, much of it in the form of rupture of the earth, takes place at locations where two plates diverge, transform, or converge relative to each other.
