This is known as the epicentre.
reference point
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
Scientists have no power to control earthquakes, nor to specifically predict them, but a logical area that the earthquakes would take place is along the plates of the earths crust. (Their shifting leads to earthquakes)
earths surface
an active volcano affects the surface because of where the place is located
I would say Japan because it is separated into four pieces of the earths crust. in Tokyo Very small earthquakes happen every day
Absolute Location.
They are used to locate a certain place on a map.
a place in the earths surface through wich molten rock and other materials reach the sruface
Plate boundaries were first established based on the distribution of earthquakes and volcanic activity. Scientists noticed that most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur along specific zones on Earth's surface, which led to the identification of plate boundaries. These boundaries mark the edges of tectonic plates, where interactions such as subduction, spreading, and sliding take place.
Volcanoes are essentially holes in the earths surface through which magma and lava can erupt. when pressure builds up below the earths crust, magma is then forced violently out of the volcanoes.
They are all formed when tectonic plate boundaries move against each other.
