Answer:

Convergent boundary

Explanation:

It is easy to compare the relationship that exist between earthquakes and boundaries. Through the divergent boundaries, earthquakes are usually common but are restricted to a small zone that lies close to the ridge and less than 30 km in depth. Shallow earthquakes are commonly experienced in many parts of the country.

However, in places that they are common, earthquakes are abundant and they happen to be deep on the subduction as well as the landside where they cause major destruction when they occur.

Answer:

Maps and globes are drawn to scale and use symbols to represent topography and other features on Earth's surface. Grid lines on maps and globes are often used, with lines curving because the Earth is a sphere. The baselines for measuring distance on Earth are the equator and the Prime Meridian. Satellites are also often used as a mean to graph.
