← GeographyWhich hazard distribution results from strike-slip plate boundaries?
A)Shallow focus earthquakes over short area✓
B)Deep focus earthquakes over wide area
C)Widespread tsunamis via seafloor deformation
D)High magnitude stratovolcano eruptions inland
💡 Explanation
Frequent shallow focus earthquakes align along linear transform zones, because friction between sliding plates resists movement, then ruptures via elastic rebound. This generates shallow earthquakes restricted to narrow regions rather than deep events across expansive regions; because of the type of plate movements.
