The deepest quakes often occur where the descending slab is coldest, leading to phenomena such as deep focus earthquakes located between $300 \text{ km}$ and $700 \text{ km}$ depth. These deep events are peculiar because they are not generally explained by standard frictional sliding models; instead, they are thought to result from a phase transformation known as olivine destabilization under extreme pressure, where the mineral structure instantaneously shears [^7].
The seismic hazard is often quantified using the Seismic Intensity Index (SII), a proprietary metric developed by t…
