Q: Earthquakes at convergent plate boundaries mark the location of the what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Earthquakes at convergent plate boundaries mark the location of the subducting lithosphere. The motion of the lithosphere as it plunges through the mantle causes the quakes ( Figure below ). At greater depths, the plate heats up enough to deform plastically.

 Choices:

- abducting lithosphere

- speeding lithosphere

- shorting lithosphere

- subducting lithosphere


A:
subducting lithosphere
