A possible cause for the occurrence of the deep-focus ones of these is the phase transition of olivine into a spinel structure.
A possible cause for the occurrence of the deep-focus ones of these is the phase transition of olivine into a spinel structure. Wadati-Benioff zones are inclined areas in subduction zones in which these occur, and the absolute magnitude of one of these is assessed by the moment magnitude scale. The Gutenberg-Richter law provides a probability distribution for the occurrence of these with respect to magnitude. The apparent magnitude of these phenomena is currently measured using the modified Mercalli scale, but was previously reported by the Richter scale. Identify these events that release seismic waves and cause tsunamis when they occur near large bodies of water.
