When rocks crack and shift it is called a?
If you are talking about an earthquake, the focus right above it is the epicenter
What is the Idea that rocks on either side of the fault spring back to a position of a little or no strange at the moment of an earthquake causing vibration in the earths crust?
Rocks on the side of a spring will move if there is a earthquake. When a earthquake happens it shakes everything.
Where is an earthquake's focus located?
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
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
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.
What happens if their was an earthquake?
AN EARTHquake first reaches a place that is focus strong earthquakes are in the epicentre but this is not the place from where earthquake originates i.e focus

pressure builds under the plates
Where is an earthquake's focus located?
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
Explain the focus and the epicenter?
the focus is below the epicenter. the epicenter is where the focus is but on the surface. the focus is below the surface, it ranges in the depth. they show you the epicenter on the news, not the focus.
What is the focus and epicenter of an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
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 is the point of an earthquake?
the centre is called the focus whereas the point where it happens on the surface is called the epicentre.
