This is at the fault lines. This is were the most damage is going to occur during the earthquake.
What is the relationship between focus and the epicenter of an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the location within the lithosphere where seismic energy is released when slippage first occurs along a fault line. The epicenter is the location on Earth's surface directly above the focus.
What is the relationship between the focus of an earthquake and its epicenter?
The focus of an earthquake is the location within the lithosphere where seismic energy is released when slippage first occurs along a fault line. The epicenter is the location on Earth's surface directly above the focus.
The place where slippage first occurs is called an earthquake?
Epicenter
The location within earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs?
the first motion of an earthquake occurs in the epicenter.
The point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs?
The epicenter is the point where motion begins on a fault line in the event of an earthquake. This location is seen as the origin of the earthquake itself and can help determine how much damage has been done in different areas.
The energy waves that produce an earthquake begin on the surface or within the earth?
The energy waves form at the focus which is the location within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
What is the definition of epicenter and focus?
epicenter is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquakes starting point,or focus focus is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
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.
Is the sentence correct as rocks move past each other along a fault their rough surfaces catch and permanently halt movement along the fault?
Yes - apart from it needs a capital letter to start the sentence - and comma after the first occurrence of 'fault'.
What name is given to the point on a fault at which the first movement or break occurs during an earthquake?
This is known as the earthquake's focus or hypocentre.
Whose fault is it if a car is traveling on a main road and a 2nd car entering from a secondary road loses control and goes into the first car's lane?
