Answer: Deep Focus

Explanation:

A Deep focus earthquakes is one that occurs deeper  beneath the  subduction zone called  Wadati-Benioff zone having  a focus greater than 300 km deep and magnitudes greater than 6, Because of these, they can only be measured using the Moment Magnitude scale which can measure earthquakes with magnitude over 10

Here there is a forceful collision of the  tectonic plates as they slide over each other within the continental and oceanic plates  boundaries causing the release of great energy,with extreme heat and pressure causing the rocks to flow instead of  breaking and faulting of the rocks

Deep focus earthquakes are very dangerous although occurring 20 - 30 years along a fault line are responsible for the many destructive  tsunamis that happen.

Answer:

No heat no endogenous tectonic processes.

Explanation:

There is a great influence of the earth's internal heat on endogenous tectonic processes  because the internal heat causes the plates to melt due to which earthquakes occur. Without this internal heat of earth, no endogenous tectonic processes occur because these processes require heat to happen so we can say that internal heat of the earth has a great impact on the happening of endogenous tectonic processes.
