the majority of tectonic earthquakes originate at the ring of fire in depths not exceeding tens of kilometers. earthquakes occurring at a depth of less than are classified as 'shallow-focus' earthquakes, while those with a focal-depth between are commonly termed 'mid-focus' or 'intermediate-depth' earthquakes. in subduction zones, where older and colder oceanic crust descends beneath another tectonic plate, deep-focus earthquakes may occur at much greater depths (ranging from ). these seismically active areas of subduction are known as wadati–benioff zones. deep-focus earthquakes occur at a depth where the subducted lithosphere should no longer be brittle, due to the high temperature and pressure. a possible mechanism for the generation of deep-focus earthquakes is faulting caused by olivine undergoing a phase transition into a spinel structure.
