Asked by Niki
Is the magnitude of an earthquake related to depth below the surface at which the quake occurs?
Magnitude: 2.9,4.2,3.3,4.5,1.6,3.2,3.4,3.9
Depth:5.0,10.0,11.2,10.0,7.9,3.9,5.5,8.1
Equation: y=4.12+1.06x
Question: does it make sense to predict the depth below the surface when the magnitude is 12.1? Please explain
