What is the location on the surface directly above the earthquake fous?
Epicenter
Which term is defined as the exact location where an earthquake occurred?
Epicenter
Where earthquake geographic location?
the epicenter of the earthquake is where the earthquake hit. technically, you need three epicenters the find where the earthquake actually hit, though. Edit: The epicenter is the location on the surface traced to by seismographs for people to get an idea of where the earthquake happened. The hypocenter is where the earthquake actually happened below the surface.
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The epicenter
How would a map showing the locations of active volcanoes compare to the map showing the location of earthquake epicenters?
(a) Only a small percentage of volcano locations would be in the same regions as the epicenters(b) A large percentage of volcano locations would be in the same regions as the epicenter(c) There would be no match between the locations of the volcanoes and the epicenters(d) The location of the volcanoes and the epicenters would only match in the ocean regions

What is the minimum number of seismic stations needed to determine the location of an earthquake and epicenter?
you need to have 3 seismic stations to triangulate the location of the earthquake and remember a earthquake can be from the inside of the earth but not necessarily at the epicenter because no epicenter is a straight line down.
