{wiki=Depth_of_focus_(tectonics)}
In the context of seismology and tectonics, the term "depth of focus" refers to the depth at which an earthquake's seismic waves originate. More technically, this is often referred to as the "hypocenter" or "focus" of an earthquake. The depth of focus is significant because it influences the earthquake's impact at the surface.
