earthquakes can develop much deeper than just the crust of the earth's surface, genius...

what deepest point? when you hit the bottom of the sea? hypocenter can refer to a point inside the earth. so yes, it could be 212 miles. at least thats how i understood it. i'm not an expert. 😛

the earthquake occurs in the earth's crust, not in the ocean

the earth is ~8000 miles diameter? or something like that? the quake happened 212 miles down into the crust, the water doesn't count, unless it was a waterquake, but it says earthquake

It occurred under the surface of the sea floor, not in the water like your crack smoking head imagined. The earth has a diameter of 7,926 miles, 212 miles is barely under the crust.

Hey, it just said an under sea earthquake, not a sub sea surface. 😛 Yes, I know earthquakes are under ground, but they should've probably phrased it differently so the geologically impaired like me understand better. I r smart, ok! 😉

 

[FoBoT]

its ok, you know we still love you , even though you had a brain fart 😉

We'll just nominate you for 2006 pwnage of the year award.
