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.

  • 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.
