The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
What else can I help you with?
What is the point beneath earths surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called the?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
What do you call the point of the earths surface directly above where an earthquake originates?
The epicenter
What the difference between an earthquake's focus and it epicentre?
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.
What happens alonge a fault beneath earths surface when an earthquake happens?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What gradually changes earths surface?
an earthquake
Underground center of an earthquake?
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
What lies directly beneath the earths surface?
crust
The place of earths surface above the location that rock breaks during an earthquake is the?
The place on Earth's surface directly above the location where rock breaks during an earthquake is called the epicenter. The epicenter is important because it helps to identify the point on the surface that experiences the strongest shaking and the most intense effects of the earthquake. This term is distinct from the focus, which is the actual underground point where the earthquake originates.
Is The location on earths surface directly above the epicenter is called the focus?
yes
How is an earhquake started?
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.
