   FFoorrmmaatt::

        A data frame with 1000 observations on 6 variables.

         [,1]     lat           numeric        Latitude of event
         [,2]     long          numeric        Longitude
         [,3]     depth         numeric        Depth (km)
         [,4]     mag           numeric        Richter Magnitude
         [,5]     stations      numeric        Number of stations reporting

   DDeessccrriippttiioonn::

        The data set give the locations of 1000 seismic events
        of MB > 4.0.  The events occurred in a cube near Fiji
        since 1964.

        There are two clear planes of seismic activity. One is
        a major plate junction; the other is a trench off New
        Zealand.  These data constitute a subsample from a
        larger dataset of containing 5000 observations.

        This is one of the Harvard PRIM-H project data sets.
        They in turn obtained it from Dr. John Woodhouse, Dept.
        of Geophysics, Harvard University.
