Are earthquakes more common in the shallow or deep crust? explain your answer and include comments about deformational styles.

Answer: Earthquakes are more common in the shallow mostly along transform faults.Explanation:  Earthquakes are normally deep on the landward side of the subduction zone. When a rock is hot it gives space for them to pass over each other with ease while when it cools it gets harder since there is friction which causes some rough movement when the rocks pass each other causing an Earthquake.When rocks are pressured, the resulting strain can be elastic, ductile, or brittle, this is called deformation. Elastic deformation is a stress that is reversible, meaning it can go back to its original shape after the pressure is released. . The type of deformation rocks can undergo depends on pore pressure, strain rate, rock strength, temperature, stress intensity, time, and confining pressure.To read more on earthquakes and deformation visit: brainly.com/question/15116378#spj4
