Devastating earthquakes in the brittle shallow earth occur due to frictional sliding between the plates. However, at the depth between 100 and 600km, where brittle deformation is inaccessible, deep earthquakes occur frequently. Therefore, deep earthquakes require a different mechanism. The M6.6 Jav...
