What statement explains why earthquake tend to be deeper near subduction zones

Biology
1 answer:

A subduction zone is where one tectonic plate is sliding under another one. It is not usually a continuous smooth motion, but an intermittent cycle of building pressure of one plate against the other and then a "slip" or movement that relieves the pressure by moving the plates. This movement is called an earthquake.<span />

What is relationship among the location of volcanues,earthquake epicenter,and mauntain ranges?
Korolek [52]
Volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain ranges are all results of the tectonic movement of the Earth. 
<span>When two plates collide and one does not completely give way and go under the other the crust is pushed up forming mountain ranges. 
</span>An earthquake is the shaking and vibration of the Earth's crust due to movement<span> of the Earth's </span>plates<span> (plate </span>tectonics<span>).
</span>And volcano is created <span>when </span>plates<span> are pushed together or pulled apart.
So, the relationship between volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain ranges is their connection with the tectonic movement of the Earth.</span>

What are hydrogen bonds caused by?
Musya8 [376]

Hydrogen bonding is caused by the tendency of some atoms in molecules to attract electrons more than their accompanying atom. This gives the molecule a permanent dipole moment – it makes it polar – so it acts like a magnet and attracts the opposite end of other polar molecules.
