Seismic Waves
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
Well, the origin of the earthquake is called the focus, and the point on the ground directly above the focus is called the epicenter. In CA, earthquakes generally originate from the San Andreas Fault.
The classification scale used to describe the depth of origin of earthquakes is based on three categories: shallow (0-70 km), intermediate (70-300 km), and deep (>300 km) earthquakes. The depth of an earthquake's origin can help determine its potential impact and the type of seismic waves produced.
The epicenter.

the origin of energy in space is?
Earthquakes result from stress in the earth's crust, so the are of geologic origin.
No water particles move outward. It appears so. Actually the water particle do up and down simple harmonic oscillation but successively. So it appears as if something move outward. Actually the distrubance moves and not the particle of the medium
