What are examples of epicenter?
An epicenter means the point on the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake so...it probably means where the spot on the earth's surface where the earthquake is really strong. To find a specific example, I suggest you search earthquakes.
What is the relation between surface tension and acceleration?
i think that acceleration is directly proportional to surface tension.....
What are some examples of weathering around the house?
Weathering is the breakdown of materials without movement external movement. not to be confused with erosion which relies on a current of water or air to wear away rock for example. Spilling wine on a marble surface is an example of chemical weathering as the wine will dissolve some of the surface. A physical example could be a metal fire guard weakening at it's welded joints due to repeated heating and cooling which causes thermal expansion and contraction of the structure.
How does a continent affect the movement of a surface current?
When surface currents meet continents the current changes directions.
What is a movement within the earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the earth's surface called?
The movement within the Earth that causes buried rock to be exposed at the Earth's surface is called uplift. It refers to the vertical elevation of the Earth's surface.

What is the term for the place on earth's surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake?
the epicenter , this is the correct answer!
Epicenter?
the location on the surface directly above the focus
How does construction change the surface of the earth?

What is the focus of the earth?
The focus of an earthquake is the point in the earth where the earthquake rupture or fault movement actually occurred. The point on the surface directly above the focus is known as the epicenter.
What is directly above the earthquake epicenter?
Nothing (well the atmosphere and then outer space)! As the epicentre of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above the focus or hypocentre (which is the place in the Earth where the rupture / fault movement that causes the earthquake occurs).
What is the most movement of water on the ocean's surface?
Surface Currents.
Definition of mass?
Mass movement is the movement in which Earth's surface changes.
Is the location on the surface directly above the focus?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter
What is the place on earth27s surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake called?
This is known as the earthquake's epicentre.
What is the name of the Point on earth surface directly above earthquakes?
The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin.
Is the location on the earth's surface directly above the epicenter of an earthquake called the focus?
No. The point on the surface directly above the focus is the epicenter.
