Studies have shown that there is a relationship between the type and location of boundaries and the distribution and depth of earthquakes along or near these boundaries. Many earthquakes, shown in the map as wide bands, occur along convergent

areas. These areas experience varying depths of earthquakes.

Where would oceanic-oceanic convergence most likely occur?

Nazca plate converging with the South America plate, forming the Andes mountains

Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean

Juan de Fuca converging with the North American plate, forming the Cascade mountains

North America Plate converging with the Eurasian Plate, forming a mid-ocean ridge
