Where did you learn they were deep and what's "deep"?

I generally look at the news reports and normally provide the depth of the epicenter..

But I have to admit that any perspective that I have is biased by the typically shallow tremors along the San Adreas (down to around 15 kms deep such as Northridge).

As for my "handle", I'm surprised you didn't do a websearch.. It was more politically correct than "Stormbringer".. Of course, I could have used the author's last name, but that would have probably created some controversy. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

I took a look at this website, and most of the recent large earthquakes world wide were at the 33 km depth. Don't have any idea whether that's deep, or whether there's any significance.
