Answer to Question 1

Trace is the bold black line on the diagram above. The earthquake dots were used to find the plate boundary.

Answer to Question 2

The boundary is a subduction zone. The outlined plate (ocean side) is subducting under the continent on the right. I know this because the deep focused earthquakes are on the continental plate and these are formed by the subducting slab as it moves underneath the continent.
