What happens above the earth ground during and earthquake?
Boom
What happens along fault beneath Earth's surface when an earthquake occurs?
if your on a fault it will shake and shift ground above
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 is point the ground directly above the origin of an earthquake?
This is known as the epicentre of the earthquake. Epicenter
The point at which the earthquake happens below the ground?
Epicenter.
Is it safer below or above the ground during an earthquake?
Above ground. If you are below ground then there is something above you and this may collapse on you. The safest place to be during an earthquake is on the ground out in the open where nothing can fall on you. Earthquakes do not kill many people directly, it is falling buildings that do that.
What is a focus?
The origin of an earthquake underground is the focus, which is right under the epicenter which is the place above ground where an earthquake is felt.
Whats the difference between the epicenter of an earthquake and the focus of the earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the place where an earthquake occurred along the fault underground, while the epicenter is the place directly above it where the seismic waves were felt.The focus is where an earthquake starts and the epicenter is where the earthquake hits the hardest.The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicenter is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicenter is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.
Where can earthquakes NOT happen?
Above ground. anything connected to the ground would be affected by an earthquake due to the earth being layered by tectonic plates. Therefore space is earthquake free :]
What is the difference between focus - epicenter?
The focus is below ground that is where the earth quake happens. The epicenter is above because that is where it is located
What are caused because of earthquakes?
Earthquake happens when there is alote of friction held in the ground, if there is alote the friction will release quick, when it releases an earthquake happens. if you live on the Canadian shield you are safe from earthquakes
