Identify the most likely location for an Earthquake of high magnitude

Question

Oceanic-Oceanic, Divergent Boundry
Oceanic-Oceanic, Transform Boundry
Oceanic-Continental, Convergent Boundry

Answer 1

The most likely location for an earthquake of high magnitude would be an oceanic-continental convergent boundary. This is where two tectonic plates, one oceanic and one continental, collide and the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the lighter continental plate. The subduction zone creates intense pressure and friction, leading to the buildup of stress and eventually causing earthquakes of high magnitude.
