What else can I help you with?
The earths surface where most earthquake damage occurs is called the?
Epicenter
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 occurs when the plates of rock that form Earths surface slide back and forth?
An EarthQuake Accurs
The point on earths surface right above the spot where the first movement of an earthquake occurs is called earthquakes?
Focus
The surface of the earth moves violently in an what?
The surface of the earth moves violently in an earthquake. This occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the earths crust. Anything from a volcano to a tectonic plate shift can cause an earthquake.
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 be neath Earth's surface when an earthquake occurs?
the sinteument which measures time most accurately
What is the word for the point on the ground surface above where an earthquake happens?
The point on the ground surface directly above where an earthquake occurs is called the "epicenter." It is the location that typically experiences the strongest shaking during the earthquake. The actual location where the earthquake originates underground is known as the "focus" or "hypocenter."
What happens when an earthquake occurs far from an observing station?
P-waves hit, followed by S-waves, followed by surface waves.
What kind of movement occurs when the earths plates push against each other?
earthquake
What is the point in earths interior where the energy release of an earthquake occurs?
The point within Earth's interior where the energy release of an earthquake occurs is known as the focus or hypocenter. This is the location where the seismic waves originate and spread outwards, causing the shaking and damage on the Earth's surface. The epicenter, on the other hand, is the point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface.
What occurs because of unequal heating of earths surface?
wind
