Describe the three categories of earthquakes based on focal depth and what causes them. What will be an ideal response?
Shallow-focus earthquakes have focal depths of less than 70 km; intermediate-focus earthquakes have
focal depths between 70 and 300 km; and deep-focus earthquakes have focal depths of more than 300
km. Divergent and transform plate boundaries produce only shallow-focus quakes, and all
intermediate- and deep-focus quakes occur along convergent boundaries
