40% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 60% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.
By band, the catalogue holds 9 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
