Distribution of earthquakes at plate boundaries. Shallow-focus earthquakes occur at divergent boundaries where the lithosphere is being pulled apart and also along transform boundaries where slip in the lithosphere accommodates the spreading between oceanic ridges. Shallow- to deep-focus earthquakes occur where a lithosphere subducts during collision of two plates. . . . . .
