What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes generally cause more damage.
What is the difference between shallow focus earthquakes and deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at depths of 70 km with magnitudes ranging from 1-5. Deep focus earthquakes occur at depths from 300-700 km and magnitudes from 6-10.
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
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.
What is the classification scale used to describe the depth of origin of earthquakes?
shallow focus Intermediate focus Deep focus

Most shallow focus earthquakes are found along?
Wherever divergent plate boundaries are
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes of the occur relative to ocean trenches?
within or adjacent to trenches
Shallow focus earthquakes are associated with what ocean floor feature?
mid-ocean ridges
What type of earthquake occurs in mid ocean ridges?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at the mid ocean ridges because the thin lithosphere found there is to weak to allow a large amount of strain to build up and cause larger earthquakes.
What is the spot directly above the focus where an earthquakes occurs?
The "epicenter"
Shallow focus earthquakes are associated with which type of plate boundary?
associated with divergent ,convergent ,and transform
