energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
The energy is due to the force of Earth's gravity.
Energy is transferred during earthquakes by mechanical waves that travel through the earth. These are known as seismic waves.

kinetic
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
Epicenter
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
The focus is the point in the earths crust where the earthquake originates and the epicentre is the point in the earths surface directly above the focus.
Near plate boundaries.
an earthquake
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.
Earthquake.
This is known as the epicentre.
Collide
epicenter
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
Epicenter
it is called the interior
The Epicenter.
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
