Scientists can use the depth of earthquake starting points (hypocenters) to pinpoint earthquake zones and track earthquake patterns. This method was applied to volcanic earthquakes (Volcano-Tectonic) to find the hypocenter distribution under Sinabung Volcano. By analyzing earthquake depths with a special technique (Geiger's method with Adaptive Damping) found the hypocenter distribution to be 2-5 kilometers down.
