Question

On 3/20/2021 in Japan there was a earthquake 7.0 and 34 miles deep is the magnitude measured at 35 miles down or at the surface?

Answer 1

Down.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude was measured at 35 miles down not at the surface because earthquake occurs when the tectonic plates moves that are present at high depth so the magnitude of earthquake always occurs down the earth surface. An earthquake of intensity 7.0 hit off the coast of the Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, 20 March 2021, at 6:09 pm of its local time. This earthquake occurred 16 km northeast of the city of Ishinomaki.
