An intraplate earthquake is one that occurs

  • A.within the interior of a plate
  • B.exactly on a plate boundary
  • C.only beneath the ocean floor
  • D.only at a subduction trench

Answer: A

Such events are far less frequent than boundary earthquakes but occur in stable continental regions where crust is strong and attenuation is low, so the shaking can be felt over enormous areas. The 1993 Latur earthquake in peninsular India is an Indian example.
