No, the rocks in the earth at that depth are too rigid and plastic-like to store the amount of stress needed for an earthquake to occur.
Earthquakes that happen in shallow water cause tsunami and other side affects like landslides.
deep focus
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
Yes-- they are more successful in predictiong volcanic eruptions than earthquakes
They take place between the crust and mantle. They are shallow because the tectonic plates move, and when they move past each other it is like rubbing your hands against one another with something sticky on them, eventually one just snaps and that is what creates the shallow quakes.
Shallow-focus earthquakes cause more damage than deep-focus earthquakes. This is because shallow-focus earthquakes originate closer to the Earth's surface, which allows the energy to be more concentrated and lead to stronger shaking and more destruction of structures. Deep-focus earthquakes, occurring deeper underground, tend to have their energy dissipate before reaching the surface.

This question would vary, because it would depend on where the building was located, for instance if it was in California it would be deeper, because of the Earthquakes, than a one in St. Louis
2500 meters deeper than sea level
50 miles deep. 60 miles deeper than earth.
The most deep focused earthquakes would be found at transform boundaries. The shallow focused earthquakes would be found at Divergent boundaries. And the intermediate focused earthquakes would be found at Convergent boundaries. By: A ninth grader.

Quicksand can vary in depth, but on average it is typically only a few feet deep. It is rare to find quicksand that goes much deeper than a person's height. The danger lies in becoming stuck and needing assistance to get out, rather than sinking deeper and deeper.
A deep sulcus refers to a groove or crevice that is more pronounced or deeper than usual. In medical terms, it can refer to an abnormal deepening of a particular anatomical structure, often observed in conditions related to the lungs or feet.
No pit is so deep that the love of God is not deeper still.
Deeper than the aybess are any black hole in the universe.
A deep-water wave.
