<u>The characteristics of earthquakes occurring along a divergent plate:</u>

Divergent plates are the plates that move away from each other. Earthquakes occur along a divergent plate like the mid Atlantic ridge and the east Pacific rise and these earthquakes are called the spreading centers and are relatively small and not very big.

The earthquakes are common here and are restricted to a narrow zone which is close to the ridge. These are consistently at less than 30 km in depth. And the earthquakes along these plates are shallow focus earthquakes.

A threatened species is in danger of extinction in the immediate future.<br><br> true or false
MissTica

The correct answer is - False.

When a species is classified as threatened, it means that that particular species is expected to become endangered, not extinct. The species that are threatened, are species that have experienced a significant drop in numbers in recent times, but still have enough individuals to be able to survive and keep the species going. But if the situation starts to become worse and the species continues to lose numbers, than the species will fall into the category of endangered species, which will mean that it is expected that the species will die out in the very near future.
