What else can I help you with?
If the focus and the epicenter of an earthquake were in the exact same spot where would that spot have to be?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! If the focus and epicenter of an earthquake were in the exact same spot, that spot would be right beneath the Earth's surface. It's like painting a beautiful landscape with all the details in just the right place. Just remember, every spot has its own unique beauty and purpose.
What is the spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs?
The spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. It is usually the point on the Earth's surface closest to where the seismic waves originate deep within the Earth.
The spot on the crust above the start of an earthquake is?
The epicenter is the spot on earth's crust directly above the spot where the earthquake formed.
What is the difference between epicenter and hypo center?
The epicenter is the origin of an earthquake. However, a hypocenter is the exact spot where a bomb has been dropped.
Where are main spots of earthquakes?
The main spot, or epicenter is the center of the earthquake.
What is the name of the spot on the surface of the earth directly above where an earthquake occurs?
epicenter
Why is a seismic record from three locations needed to determine the position of an epicenter?
It is recorded from three differences because you can do two tests and they can meet at one spot but it may not be the actual epicenter. They do the third test to be ssure they have the right spot or epicenter.
What is the spot directly above the focus where an earthquakes occurs?
The spot directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the underground location where the earthquake starts, known as the focus or hypocenter.
Where is a danger spot during an earthquake?
the danger spot during an earthquake is at the epicenter wich is the place right above were the earthquake was originaly started.
Is the epicenter?
Epicenter is used in the field of earth quakes. Epicenter means the spot where the earth quake occured or where the effects were felt the strongest
What is the point of origin of an earthquake called as opposed to the spot on the surface of the earth directly above this center?
The point of initial rupture is called the focus. The point above the focus where the seismic waves first reach the surface is the epicenter. The focus is underground, and the epicenter is on the surface, basically. I hope this helped. :-) NOTE: the focus may also be referred to as the hypocenter. They're the same thing.
What is the name of the location where a rupture starts?
It's the "Fracture Center". The Epicenter is the spot directly above the earth that is the center of the earthquake.
