Earthquakes occurring at a depth of less than 70 km are classified as 'shallow-focus' earthquakes, while those with a focal-depth between 70 and 300 km are commonly termed 'mid-focus' or 'intermediate-depth' earthquake.
Deep is the adjective related to the word depth. A depth may be described as shallow or considerable.
A shallow foundation is generally considered any foundation element that is 6 feet or less in depth. or the depth of foundation is equals to its width of the foundation. Examples are thickened edge slabs and grade beams that are supporting minimal weight.
A shallow earthquake occurs at a shorter depth from the surface of land, which can result in a louder, stronger quake. As an example, in 2011-2012, Ohio had a series of shallow quakes less than 2 miles beneath the surface, related to shale drilling. An intermediate earthquake occurs at a deeper depth than a shallow quake and likely involves natural fault lines.
Because of the weight of the water above.
Yes, "shallow" is an adjective. It is used to describe something that has little depth, significance, or understanding. For example, a shallow lake, a shallow person, or a shallow conversation.

Depth of field in photography is 3-dimensional and is measured from the foreground moving along a horizontal plane towards the background. Maximum depth-of-field means most of the scene is in focus and shallow depth-of-field means the minimum is in focus. Shallow depth-of-field lets you lose the background into a nice blur leaving the foreground in focus - good for portrait photography. In landscape photography you would normally choose the maximum depth-of-field so that distant hills were in focus as well as the middle ground and the foreground - in other words, everything in the field of your vision would be sharply focussed.
The depth of the Caribbean Sea is varied. Relatively shallow around the islands and across a wide area extending from Honduras out to Jamaica. The depth drastically falls off between Cuba and the Caymans to maximum depth of 25,216 feet. There is also an area of deep waters between South America and the islands of the Caribbean.
Average depth. Depth of the deep end @ 8'. Depth of the shallow end 3'. Add the two together and divide by 2 = average. Ken
No. The Ring of Fire comprises a series on boundaries between tectonic plates. The depth of water is irrelevant.
The common misconception is that the difference between a shallow well and a deep well is the depth to which you dig to hit water. While this may be true in some cases, this isn't the basis of classification. A shallow well is one where the primary source of water is an unconfined aquifer and a deep well is one which is fueled by a confined aquifer.
