what is the maximum depth of a deep-focus earthquake
the darkest niggahhh
Anytime
The largest deep earthquake struck June 9, 1994 in Bolivia with a magnitude of 8.2 and a depth of 647km. Most quakes at this depth are of much lower magnitude. For example the USGS site shows some deep quakes in the Fiji region over the past few days around 600km deep with magnitudes of 5.0 and under.

Earthquakes are caused when pressure builds up as two tectonic plates move together. As the pressure is released, an earthquake is produced.
when an earthquake occurs
a focus . But really: A tsunami.

Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
Although earthquake may occur anywhere on the earth, Japan is the country where frequency of earthquake is maximum. This happens due to the movement of tectonic plates of the earth in different directions.
A tsunami did occur after the Christchurch earthquake, but it was relatively small and localized. The earthquake did not generate a large enough displacement of water to create a significant tsunami. Additionally, the orientation of the fault line and the shallow depth of the earthquake further limited the potential for a widespread tsunami.
They are both words that re used to describe the origin of an earthquake. More specifically the focus is the point within the earth where the fault rupture and initial movement occur. The epicentre is the point on the Earth's surface directly above this.
Yes. An earthquake may occur in the ocean.
If you want to know what the name is, it is called the epicenter. If you want to know a location where all earthquakes originate, there isn't one. Earthquakes can occur along faultlines, or in the middle of a continent.
Aftershocks can occur hours or days after an earthquake.
A tsunami is an ocean wave that is caused by an earthquake. It would occur after an earthquake.
