The focus is below ground that is where the earth quake happens. The epicenter is above because that is where it is located
The difference between the Focus and the Epicenter is...... The Focus is pretty much where the earthquake starts but some people say it is the center of the earthquake. But moving on the Epicenter is right above the Focus but on the crust. I hope that answered your question!!
The focus is below ground that is where the earth quake happens. The epicenter is above because that is where it is located
The focus of an earthquake is the exact point within the Earth's crust where the earthquake originates. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus. While the focus is located underground, the epicenter is on the surface.
The focus of an earthquake, also known as the hypocenter, is the actual location within the Earth’s crust where the earthquake originates. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus. The relationship between the focus and the epicenter helps scientists determine the exact location of the earthquake's origin.
The focus of an earthquake is the point within the Earth where the seismic energy is released, while the epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus. The focus is the actual origin of the earthquake, while the epicenter is the point on the surface where the earthquake is felt most strongly.
The epicenter is located (above the focus) at the earth's surface.
the focus of the earthquake was 7 miles down from the epicenter of northridge.
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 focus and epicenter are both "earthquake points". The focus is the point of origin of an earthquake or underground nuclear explosion while the epicenter the very center or focal point.
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 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.
This is called the epicenter.
