What is the depth of focus of an earthquake whose magnitude is 7.2 below sea level?
The depth of focus of an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 can range from 10 to 700 kilometers below the surface of the Earth. At this depth, the earthquake originates within the crust or upper mantle, releasing energy that can cause significant shaking and damage near the surface.

Where is an earthquake focus found?
The focus of an earthquake is more properly called its hypocentre and is the point within the Earth where the earthquake actually occurred (i.e where the rupture actually starts).The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the hypocentre.Please see the related links.
