The velocities of seismic waves traveling from earthquake foci?
Generally increase with depth, occasionally making abrupt jumps termed seismic-velocity discontinuities.
What would you expect to find in a subduction zone?
I believe we are in the same class. If you get then answer help me out!
What is the foci of an eclipse?
The foci of an eclipse is 2.
What is the relationship between earthquake depth and type of plate boundary?
subbduction zones
What are 5 factors that affect the intesity of an earthquake?
type of faulting depth frequency of shakin proximity of epicentre distance of earthquake focus magnitude

Earthquake foci can be used to mark the boundaries of what earth features?
Earthquake foci can be used to mark the earths plate boundaries . The movement along the plate boundary causes the earthquake. Knowing where the foci is can help predict future earthquakes in that scientists can monitor the area for shifts in the plates.
What was the depth of the focus for the christchurch earthquake?
1 peanut butter and jelly sandwich plus a ham and cheese bagel. Equals a delicious lunch. This has ntohing to do with the foci. It's impossbibe.
Earthquake foci can be used to mark the boundries of what earth features?
tectonic plates.
The distribution patterns of measured earthquake foci depths beneath various convergent plate boundaries that have active volcanic arcs are interpreted as what?
The foci basically outline or emanate from the subducting slab (plate). Multiple foci locations can be used to tell the degree of dip/position of the subducting slab. The distribution patterns also give depth at which melting of slab occurs because earthquakes don't emanate from a partially melted slab, so the deepest earthquake may indicate last solid state of slab.
What is the maximum depth a deep focus earthquake can occur to?
what is the maximum depth of a deep-focus earthquake
What is the depth of focus of an earthquake whose magnitude is 7.2 below sea level?
There is no way to answer this. The magnitude of an earthquake does not correlate with its depth.

Why should the graph of earthquake depth vs earthquake latitude have a zero at the top of the vertical axis?
0 depth is the surface of the earth,and increasing depth is downwards
Name and distribution of earthquake with regard to location and depth of focus?
The distribution of earthquake with regard to the location and depth of focus can be best explained with tectonics.
What is the medical term meaning pertaining to having three foci?
Trifocal
What is the Japan earthquake in 2011s hypocentre depth?
230km
