Relationship between the location of the epicenters and depth of earthquake

Geography
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Along divergent boundaries like the mid-Atlantic ridge and the East Pacific Rise, earthquakes are common, but restricted to a narrow zone close to the ridge, and consistently at less than 30 km depth. Shallow earthquakes are also common along transform faults, such as the San Andreas Fault.

Explanation:

When the earthquake depth is very shallow, it can be reported as a negative depth. Earthquake depths are calculated relative to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) geoid, mean sea-level, or the average elevation of the seismic stations that provided arrival-time data for the earthquake location.

What is known about the pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle today?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Hi! i'm a bit rusty on this but here's what i remember. There is theory stating that a huge crystal pyramid lies 2,000 meters below the Bermuda Triangle. The theory shares that the pyramid was discovered in 2012, and most think that the crystal pyramid was the cause of the disappearance of many ships and airplanes. A scientist named Dr. Verlag discovered the crystal pyramid, and claimed that it is supposedly three times the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Dr. Verlag presented her new discovery at a conference in the Bahamas where she shared the coordinates, but there is no record of the coordinates she had claimed to have announced. Hope this helps!
