USGS Earthquake Hazards Program, responsible for monitoring, reporting, and researching earthquakes and earthquake hazards ... For that, we must study in detail the plate boundaries themselves. Perhaps the most important role of plate tectonics is that it is a guide to the use of finer techniques for earthquake prediction.

An earthquake (also known as a tremor or temblor ) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also ...

Earthquake Distribution - Occur at convergent (primarily) and transform plate boundaries. May occur in clusters as plates shift position. ... Patterns of increasing earthquake focal depths found at convergent plate margins. The earthquake foci mark the descent of the subducting lithospheric plate.

Plate boundaries and associated earthquakes. Distribution plots reveal that many earthquakes are ... The distribution of earthquake foci along a subduction zone gives an accurate profile of the angle of the descending plate. Most often, plates start subducting at a shallow angle, which becomes steeper with depth.

An interesting relationship exists between earthquake foci and plate boundaries. Earthquakes generated along divergent or transform plate boundaries are invariably shallow- and nearly all intermediate- and deep-focus earthquakes occur along convergent margins.
