Deep-focus examples of these events often occur at Wadati-Benioff zones of convergent plate boundaries.
Flinn-Engdahl regions are used to categorize where in the world these events occur. Most of the damage caused when these events affect urban areas is due to soil liquefaction. Deep-focus examples of these events often occur at Wadati-Benioff zones of convergent plate boundaries. One can find the location of their occurrence by finding the time lapse between first arrivals of P and S waves, multiplying by their speed difference, and then triangulating to pinpoint the epicenter. Their strength can be measured on the Modified Mercalli or Richter scales, and they are common along fault lines. For 10 points, identify these geological events in which the ground shakes a lot.
