Answer: Deep Focus

Explanation:

A Deep focus earthquakes is one that occurs deeper  beneath the  subduction zone called  Wadati-Benioff zone having  a focus greater than 300 km deep and magnitudes greater than 6, Because of these, they can only be measured using the Moment Magnitude scale which can measure earthquakes with magnitude over 10

Here there is a forceful collision of the  tectonic plates as they slide over each other within the continental and oceanic plates  boundaries causing the release of great energy,with extreme heat and pressure causing the rocks to flow instead of  breaking and faulting of the rocks

Deep focus earthquakes are very dangerous although occurring 20 - 30 years along a fault line are responsible for the many destructive  tsunamis that happen.

Why might native Americans living today be uncomfortable with Columbus Day as it has been celebrated through most of the 20th ce
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Columbus was a horrible man that killed, enslaved, tortured and raped Natice Americans when they did nothing to him besides welcomed him onto their land with open arms. He forced his believes onto Native Americans and brought deadly diseases that killed the majority of the Native population. A day that is "celebrated" because he "found" America (although he didn't) despite the awful things he did would be upsetting knowing that person is the reason millions had died.
