What else can I help you with?
The is the spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurred?
the spot above the centre of the earthquake is called the epicentre.
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.
What is the beginning point of an earthquake called?
Hypocenter or focus. The Epicenter is the spot on the surface directly above it.
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.
What is the name of the spot on the surface of the earth directly above where an earthquake occurs?
epicenter
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.
What is an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above?
Hot spot.
What is the spot directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. It is the point where the seismic energy is first released and is typically where the strongest shaking is felt during an earthquake.
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 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.
What is the name of the location where a fault rupture starts?
It's the "Fracture Center". The Epicenter is the spot directly above the earth that is the center of the earthquake.
