Focus
What else can I help you with?
The point on earths surface right above the spot where the first movement of an earthquake occurs is called earthquakes?
Focus
What is the point on the earths surface that is directly above where the earthquake begins?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake begins is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the surface vertically above the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake, where the seismic waves originate. Seismologists use the epicenter to locate and map earthquake events.
How do earthquake and volcanoes change the earths surface?
earthquakes and volcanoes change the worl by pollution for example car pollution, Factorys etc...
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What can earthquakes do to the earths surface?
Shake it
I want an information on earthquakes?
earthquakes are movements on the earths surface
What makes an earthquake to create a volcano that make it erupt?
the moving of the tectonic plates which makes the earths surface unstable which then causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
Earhtquakes most commonly occur at what distance below earth's surface in miles?
a earthquake can really start anywhere but it is usually started at the earths core (middle). Other names are the epicenter which is were the earthquakes starts at the earths surface. The focus is where it begins inside the earth.....
What gradually changes earths surface?
an earthquake
How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What is the earth point on earths surface directly of the surface of the earthquake?
This is known as the epicentre.
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
