The statement that best summarizes the information given in the paragraph is that different types of plate interactions result in earthquakes of varying strengths at varying depths. Hence, option D is correct.
What is an earthquake?A naturally occurring disaster, which is caused due to an imbalance in the movement and vibrations of the tectonic plates of the Earth, is known as an earthquake.
The degree of an earthquake is driven by a number of factors, one of which is the interactions of the plates differently. These interactions determine the strength and depth of an earthquake.
Hence, option D holds true regarding an earthquake. The complete question has been attached as an image for better reference.

What are some differences between Igneous and Metamorphic rocks?
Answer:
The main difference is that the Crystals in an igneous rock is shaped as it crystallized from a melt. The structure in a Metamorphic are earlier structures (Crystal, sedimentary fragments, etc ) that have been deformed or recrystallized due to heat or pressure or some chemical change.
Answer:
Igneous Rocks:-
1. Igneous rocks are formed when magma (or molten rocks) have cooled down and solidified.
2. Igneous rocks are commonly found inside the Earth’s crust or mantle.
3. The texture of igneous rocks depends on how fast it has cooled down. Textures range from coarse-grained to glassy.
4. They mainly have a crystal-like structure.
5. Igneous rocks are of two types – intrusive (solidified from magma below the earth’s surface) and extrusive (solidified from lava on the surface of the earth).
6. Examples:- Intrusive igneous rocks include – granite, diorite, pegmatite; Extrusive igneous rocks include – basalt, tuff, pumice, scoria, etc.
Metamorphic rocks:-
1. Metamorphic rocks are formed when other pre-existing rocks go through chemical and physical changes and form due to intense heat or pressure.
2. Metamorphic rocks are found on the Earth’s surface.
3. The texture of metamorphic rocks is foliated due to pressure. Some rocks may even appear to be non-foliated and banded.
4. They are very hard and may appear to be banded or layered.
5. Metamorphic rocks can be divided into two basic categories – foliated metamorphic rocks and non-foliated metamorphic rocks.
6. Examples:- Slate, marble, quartzite, phyllite, gneiss, hornfels, etc.
