Counts of occurrence per depth in 宗谷東方沖(East offshore Soya region)is shown as below graph,
In this area, the depths of the epicenters separate into 2 groups of shallow ones (1km to 30km) and deep ones (260km or deeper). The magnitudes more than M6 are belong with deep groups more than 250km except 1km.
- 1km(red)…The count is the 1st. 1km accounts for 30% of all epicenters. The largest one of 1km is M6.3 in 1924.
- 340km(gray)…The count is the 2nd. But, it is only half count of 1km. The largest one is M7.5 in 1950, and it's also the greatest value of all depths.
- 10km(yellow) and 350km(gray)…The count is the 3rd. But, it is less than 1/3 of the count of 1km. The largest one of 10km is M4.5 in 2016, and the largest one of 350km is M6.1 in 1992.
- Others…omitted..
