What are the effects of deep focus earthquakes?
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.
Which causes more damage a shallow focus or deep focus?
Typically, a shallow focus earthquake will cause more damage than a deep focus earthquake. Shallow focus implies the source of the earthquake is near to the surface, so the waves will lose lesser energy than the deep focus earthquake waves while travelling through the Earth. But it depends on other factors too such as local stratigraphy, and subsurface conditions.
What is platonic earthquake?
Plutonic earthquakes are deep focus earthquakes.
Explain the classification scale used to describe the depth of origin of earthquakes?
Shallow focus (0-70km), intermediate focus (70-300km), and deep focus (greater than 300km)
What is the fault movement begins deep within the earth at a point called?

What might a coach say when assuring a team?
He might tell them to reach deep, dig in their heels, and focus on the goal.
How deep was the focus of the Chile earthquake?
34.37 km
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.
What is platonic earthquake?
Plutonic earthquakes are deep focus earthquakes.
Is an earthquake's epicenter located deep underground?
False, the focus is located deep underground. The epicenter is at ground level
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes generally cause more damage.
