Answer:

Point D

Explanation:

The hypocenter of an earthquake is usually defined as the point from which an earthquake originates. It is also known as the focus of an earthquake.

In the given image, the plates share a type of plate boundary, where the plate moves along the fault line. Due to this movement, the rocks are adversely affected, and it tries to adjust along this region, as a result of which, a certain amount of energy is released. This energy is propagated towards the surface of the earth, affecting the water body, generating large waves which are commonly known as tsunami.

Thus, in the image above, the hypocenter (focus) of the underwater earthquake is point D which lies on the fault line.

Thus, the correct answer is Point D.

Occur at underwater subduction zones
kherson [118]
Volcanoes occur at underwater subduction zones. In fact, volcanoes form at most if not all types of subduction zones. Subduction zones are regions where tectonic plates collide and one plate bends and slides underneath the other plate. This bent plate reaches the mantle of the Earth, putting more pressure on the hot materials inside it.
