Question

Which of the following statements best describes the distribution of earthquake epicenters across the central South America?

There is no identifiable relationship between earthquake focal depths and distance from the ocean-continent convergent plate boundary.

Typically, the deepest and shallowest focus earthquakes occur furthest and nearest from the ocean-continent convergent plate boundary, respectively.

The earthquakes are at shallow near the plate boundaries but the epicenter starts going deeper as we move away from boundary
