What is the maximum depth a deep focus earthquake can occur to?
what is the maximum depth of a deep-focus earthquake
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.
A shallow earthquake occurs less than km below earth's surface?
Earthquakes occurring at a depth of less than 70 km are classified as 'shallow-focus' earthquakes, while those with a focal-depth between 70 and 300 km are commonly termed 'mid-focus' or 'intermediate-depth' earthquake.
Explain the focus and the epicenter?
the focus is below the epicenter. the epicenter is where the focus is but on the surface. the focus is below the surface, it ranges in the depth. they show you the epicenter on the news, not the focus.
What is directly below the epicenter of an earthquake?
Directly below is the focus. The focus is the place where the earthquake originally starts. From there, shock waves move in all directions.
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

What is used to express the amount of energy released from the focus of an earthquake?
magnitude.
Which measure of an earthquake is independent of a distance from the focus?
Richter Scale
What is the relationship between depth of focus and earthquake intensity?

What was the depth of focus of the earthquake in Japan 2011?
10km
Explain the focus and the epicenter?
the focus is below the epicenter. the epicenter is where the focus is but on the surface. the focus is below the surface, it ranges in the depth. they show you the epicenter on the news, not the focus.
What fours factors affect the intensity of an earthquake?
epicenter. focus. magnitude. and density
What is directly below the epicenter of an earthquake?
Directly below is the focus. The focus is the place where the earthquake originally starts. From there, shock waves move in all directions.
What do values on the Richter scale express?
The Richter scale expresses the relative magnitude of an earthquake, which is a measure of the energy released at the focus of an earthquake.
