An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred in the waters near Kyushu Island, Japan. What is the focal depth of this earthquake?

Introduction: When an earthquake occurs, it is actually a very serious geological disaster, which will cause relatively strong economic losses. Japan is also an earthquake-prone country, and a 5.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in the waters near Kyushu Island, Japan. So what is the focal depth of this earthquake?

1. Earthquake in Kyushu Island, Japan Kyushu Island is located at the southernmost tip of Japan, some distance from Tokyo, Japan, and relatively close to Okinawa in the East China Sea, so it is sparsely populated. The earthquake occurred in the nearby sea area, with a magnitude of 5.2 and a focal depth of 20 kilometers. In this process, the disaster is still relatively light, mainly because no one lives in the area where the earthquake occurred. Moreover, if an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 is generally a good building, it will not cause damage to the building itself. In addition, Japan itself has very high requirements for building design for earthquake resistance, so the earthquake in Kyushu is still controllable.

Second, the earthquake situation in Japan In fact, Japan often loves earthquakes. In addition to the Kyushu earthquake, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or above occurred in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Chiba Prefecture belongs to a well-known area in Japan. And there are many people living in Chiba Prefecture. Compared with the earthquake in the sea near Kyushu Island, the impact of the earthquake will be stronger. So it can be seen that if you want to go to Japan to play or live, you still need to strengthen some basic knowledge of earthquake prevention.

Third, the frequent earthquakes in Japan are related to crustal movement, because Japan is connected with two oceans. In this process, due to the movement of the earth's crust, and Japan itself is an island country, the frequency of earthquakes is higher than that of countries like South Korea.
