Final answer:
Earth's largest earthquakes are typically associated with convergent plate boundaries, particularly around the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire. Transform plate boundaries can also produce significant earthquakes but are overshadowed by the magnitude of those at convergent boundaries. A pattern of increasing earthquake depth from the coast inland is witnessed in subduction zones.
Explanation:
The largest earthquakes on Earth are predominantly associated with convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate subducts beneath another. These boundaries can produce a wide range of earthquake depths, from shallow to very deep, as the subducted plate interacts with the mantle. Notably, the Pacific Ocean basin, also known as the Ring of Fire, is surrounded by these convergent and transform boundaries and is thus the site of about 80 percent of all earthquakes. Transform plate boundaries, such as the San Andreas Fault, are also known for causing deadly earthquakes with shallow focus points. However, they generally produce earthquakes of lesser magnitude compared to those at convergent boundaries.
At subduction zones, there is a clear pattern in earthquake depth observed from the coast to inland. As the oceanic plate plunges into the mantle, earthquakes start at shallow depths near the coast and progressively get deeper inland, marking the path of the subducting plate as it dives deeper into the Earth's mantle.
Which type of air mass typically brings cool, wet weather?
The Treaty of _____ provided some representation in New Zealand government for the Maori.
SOS:
The answer is Waitangi!
With the decision to colonize New Zealand, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between English officials and Maori chiefs. The treaty allowed the Maori to stay in possession of their land and gave them some representation in government.

Fine grained igneous rocks that have small grains cooled rapidly and are likely to be
Fine-grained igneous rocks that have small grains cooled rapidly and are likely to be basalt extrusive rocks.
Explanation:
Extrusive igneous rocks are the type of igneous rocks (crystallize from a liquid) which are created when magma reaches the surface of Earth a volcano and cools rapidly. Basalt, one of the examples or the types of an extrusive igneous rock that is the most common type and the most common rock type at the Earth's surface. Basalt is a fine-grained rock which is mainly composed of pyroxene and plagioclase. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed when the molten rock flows above the surface as lava and then cools down. This lava comes between 50 km and 150 km below the surface of Earth from the upper mantle layer.
