The hypocentre is judged to have been at 14-16 km.

The hypocentre was at a shallow depth of 10 km.

The statue and the park are near the hypocentre where the atomic bomb exploded on 9 August 1945.

A plaque at the nearby hypocentre gives the following account and statistics of the damage caused that day.

The site is now a combined focal hypocentre for both the Underwater and Information systems division.

This enabled government officials to pinpoint the magnitude, epicentre and hypocentre of the earthquake with more accuracy than ever before.

These characteristics allow seismologists to determine the hypocentre of an earthquake using first-arrival methods.

The hypocentre has been estimated at 5-10 kilometres (3-6 mi) below Mirandola.

The first major quake, on August 28, 1916, was the strongest at magnitude 6.8, but the hypocentre was relatively deep in the earth's crust.

Matsushige was at home 2.7 km south of the hypocentre at the time of the explosion.

Because the epicentre of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima is over the hospital, the hypocentre, or ground zero, is the hospital itself.

The building now known as the Genbaku (A-Bomb) Dome was the only structure left standing near the bomb's hypocentre.

Established in 1955, and near to the hypocentre of the explosion, remnants of a concrete wall of Urakami Cathedral can still be seen.

The most deadly quake in the series came on January 5 of the following year, registering at 6.2 on the Richter scale with a shallow hypocentre, killing 54 people.

Next to the museum is the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims, built in 2003 and it marks the hypocentre of the event.

Although it was felt as far as Sicily, south Italy, Egypt, and Amman in Jordan, it was not disastrous due to its deep hypocentre and the sea-bed epicentre.

On 13 April 1992 at 3:20 am, a 5.3 M quake with its epicentre 4 km southwest of Roermond, Netherlands, and its hypocentre 18 km deep shook the border region for 15 seconds.
