Earthquake in the Sea of Okhotsk is a rare, but not unique
The earthquake, which occurred on May 24, 2013 in the Sea of Okhotsk, caused both a keen interest among serial specialists and a very broad public outcry. For seismologists, this event is interesting primarily by its characteristics: according to the US geological service, the assessment of magnitude was MW = 8.3, the depth of the focus h = 609 km [1]. An earthquake with such parameters can no longer be attributed to the category of ordinary seismic events.
