Abstract
For instrumentally recorded earthquakes of magnitude > 5.0 in northeastern North America, focal depth has been estimated using corner periods. Agreement has been noted between these estimates and estimates obtained by assuming a spherical source and using absence of surface faulting as a boundary condition. This suggests that in eastern North America the minimum depth of earthquakes with magnitude mblg ≥ 6.0 would be about 10 km.
