Do Florida have earthquakes?
Although Florida is not very well known for siesmic activity it has been known to have shocks/tremors here and there.
Is a deep earthquake worse then a shallow earthquake?
It depends, but 'shallow' (refering to the 'focus') earthquakes hit, usally, with a bigger force. This is because if the focus is closer to the surface of the earth (like in the Kobe earthquake) then the siesmic waves do not have as far to travel to reach the surface. But you can still have a deep focus with a big impact: if the siesmic waves are more powerful.
What are some manmade sources for siesmic waves?
Detonation of explosives, sonic boom (a jet breaking the sound barrier), launch of the space shuttles and large rockets.
