Mumz [18]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundary of the earth tectonic plates as earthquakes have the seismic energy that gets transferred to the landscape and as result to this the transform, divergent and convergent boundaries along the plate margins can be found.

Deep focus earthquakes are those that have shallow bases and origin in trenches where the lands are subdued under the plates and are associated with prominent oceanic features like the mid-oceanic ridges, deep-sea ridges, and seamounts, guyots and canyons, etc.

The ocean floor of convergence that creates the deep-seated earthquake as being collided with land and an oceanic plate or being collided with an oceanic and oceanic plate boundary. Physical features are faults and rift valleys.

The tonga trench is located near the tonga island and in the southwestern pacific ocean, is the second deepest trench on earth. Pacific plate is being subdued under this tench with an in convergence rate of 15 cm/year. Thus the rigid slab of lithosphere plate is being pulled towards this zone of convergence.

New oceanic lithosphere is formed at ________. a) divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of basaltic magma b

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a) divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of basaltic magma

Explanation:

Divergent boundary is where tectonic plate move apart from each other. Divergent boundary is mostly prevalent in the oceanic crust. The opposing plate tends to move apart from each other.

On the oceanic crust plates move apart from each other causing an upwelling of magma from the aesthenosphere. This magmatic material is introduced through the oceanic ridges. As the magma are introduce the opposing plates separates further . The basaltic magma introduced through the oceanic ridges forms the new oceanic crust. As we move away from the oceanic ridge the rocks gets older . The oceanic ridge where the basaltic magma erupt depict the youngest rocks.
