Uncorrelated sub-query
A sub-query is another query within a query. The sub-query returns its results to an outer query to be processed.
You want a query that returns the region and countries that have experienced earthquakes centered at a depth of 400km or deeper. Your query will use the Earthquakes
table in the sub-query, and Nations
table in the outer query.
