The challenge of natural hazards

Using Figure 1, which one of the following statements is true?

Figure 1: Tectonic Features and Seismicity of the Eastern Caribbean

Active volcanoes are located on the subducting North American Plate, east of the trench.

Earthquake depth generally increases from east to west, reflecting the westward subduction of the North American Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate.

Deep earthquakes ( $km>70\text{ km}$ depth) are concentrated directly along the subduction trench line.

Earthquakes only occur on the overriding Caribbean Plate, with no seismic activity recorded on the subducting North American Plate.
