For shallow hypocenters, the depth value can be negative. Note: Other standards use different conventions for depth measurement. As an example, GSE 2.0, defines depth with respect to the local surface. If event data is converted from other formats to QuakeML, depth values may have to be modified accordingly. Unit: m

Event [element]

The class Event describes a seismic event which does not necessarily need to be a tectonic earthquake. An event is usually associated with one or more origins, which contain information about focal time and geographical location of the event. Multiple origins can cover automatic and manual locations, a set of location from different agencies, locations generated with different location programs and earth models, etc. Furthermore, an event is usually associated with one or more magnitudes, and with one or more focal mechanism determinations. In standard (bulletin) QuakeML-BED, Origin, Magnitude, StationMagnitude, and FocalMechanismare child elements of Event. In BED-RT (real-time) all these elements are on the same hierarchy level as child elements of EventParameters. The association of origins, magnitudes, and focal mechanisms to a particular event is expressed using references inside Event.
