What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes generally cause more damage.
What is the difference between shallow focus earthquakes and deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at depths of 70 km with magnitudes ranging from 1-5. Deep focus earthquakes occur at depths from 300-700 km and magnitudes from 6-10.
Where do shallow focus earthquakes occurs?
Within or adjacent to faults.
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
What is the classification scale used to describe the depth of origin of earthquakes?
shallow focus Intermediate focus Deep focus
Shallow focus earthquakes are associated with what ocean floor feature?
mid-ocean ridges
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes generally cause more damage.
What is the difference between shallow focus earthquakes and deep focus earthquakes?

About 90 percent of continental earthquakes have a shallow?
focus
Where do shallow focus earthquakes occurs?
Within or adjacent to faults.
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
What is the classification scale used to describe the depth of origin of earthquakes?
shallow focus Intermediate focus Deep focus
Most shallow focus earthquakes are found along?
Wherever divergent plate boundaries are
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes of the occur relative to ocean trenches?
within or adjacent to trenches
What causes earthquakes along a transform boundary?
A transform boundary is a fault zone with two plates that are horizontally sliding past each other. The sudden release of energy when the rocks fracture causes an earthquake.
Why is it that earthquakes that cause the most damages have shallow focus?
they make more damage because they are close to surface.....
Deep-focus earthquakes are associated with what plate boundaries?
destructive or convergent boundaries
