What are the effects of deep focus earthquakes?
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.
Which causes more damage a shallow focus or deep focus?
Typically, a shallow focus earthquake will cause more damage than a deep focus earthquake. Shallow focus implies the source of the earthquake is near to the surface, so the waves will lose lesser energy than the deep focus earthquake waves while travelling through the Earth. But it depends on other factors too such as local stratigraphy, and subsurface conditions.
