I have been on earthquake alert lists for years and the trend I have noticed lately is that some of these earthquakes are being reported as occurring much deeper than the usual range.  Last week the range was 0 - 60km deep; the 60km being unusual.

This week there has been one recorded at 81km deep in southern Alaska and the new depth range so far is 0 - 100km.  I am including the 100km deep earthquake alert below.

I think this is a significant trend.

Interesting, Polly, but I have to admit to some ignorance about earthquakes. 

Does a deeper quake have an impact on the severity of damage above ground?

What would you speculate about the cause of the deeper quakes?  Changes in the Earth?  Deeper tunneling by those that live underground?

Please keep us posted.

That's what my initial question was after I read your post.

"I think this is a significant trend."

Why?

If you think about the earth's crust and then the upper mantle which lies beneath, these deeper earthquakes are occurring in the upper mantle.  The crust is usually under 50 km deep.  If the mantle is repeatedly shifting, the crust on top would be subject to eventual reactive adjustment, even more so it would seem than if the quake was still located in the crust.  Does that make sense?

We hear about surface technology and space technology being used to enhance earthquake activity.  Well, it causes me to wonder what is going on underground which is adding to the stress of earth movement.

Here is another alert which came through this afternoon.  Again, this one is being reported at 100km deep.

Holy cow!  Polly, do you happen to know if there have ever been quakes this deep before?

I don't recall any, GR.  That is why I am making an issue of this trend now.  I became used to seeing the same small range of depths of earthquakes over the years in the email alerts and then this trend began recently which stuck out for me.

This earthquake was reported at 604km.  I have been going by USGS's data as far as depth is concerned and my noticing that the depths of earthquakes has increased lately.  There is often a difference in depth between USGS's data and EMSC's data but in this case they are close in the depth reported.

USGS data:

hmmm, I wonder how these deeper quakes will affect the DUMB's?

perhaps
when TSHTF the surface really will be a safer place to be?
