Deep earthquakes occur in a region of the mantle called the Benioff zone, where seismic activity follows the interaction between a subducting plate and the upper mantle.
what is the maximum depth of a deep-focus earthquake
A plutonic earthquake is a seismic event caused by the movement of magma deep within the Earth's crust. These earthquakes typically occur beneath volcanic regions or in areas where there is active magmatic activity. They are often associated with the formation of intrusive igneous rock formations.
An outer rise earthquake occurs at a subduction zone where the descending tectonic plate bends and flexes, causing stress to build up. When this stress is released, it can result in an earthquake. Outer rise earthquakes usually happen in the deep ocean and are associated with the bending of the subducting plate.
An example of an earthquake focus is the point underground where the seismic energy is released, causing the earthquake. This focus can vary in depth from shallow (less than 70 km) to intermediate (70-300 km) to deep (greater than 300 km) within the Earth's crust.
"In anatomy, a fissure is a deep groove in any of various parts of the body." "The scientists were studying a deep fissure in the ocean floor." "Steam was erupting from a new fissure in the area of the geysers."
in the core
That is quite shallow for an earthquake.
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.

No. Size does not necessarily affect the magnitude of an earthquake. In fact, a deep earthquake will have less of an effect on the surface than a shallow earthquake of the same magnitude.
No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.
False, the focus is located deep underground. The epicenter is at ground level
yeah, sure whatever
A big one man!
Epicenter!!
The epicenter can be anywhere ANYWHERE
