What else can I help you with?
The spot on the crust above the start of an earthquake is?
The epicenter is the spot on earth's crust directly above the spot where the earthquake formed.
What is the spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs?
The spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. It is usually the point on the Earth's surface closest to where the seismic waves originate deep within the Earth.
What is the beginning point of an earthquake called?
Hypocenter or focus. The Epicenter is the spot on the surface directly above it.
What is the name of the spot on the surface of the earth directly above where an earthquake occurs?
epicenter
What is the place inside the earth where the energy in an earthquake is centered is a?
The spot beneath the surface where the earthquake originates, the point where the slip of the fault starts, is called the hypocenter.The spot on the surface directly above the hypocenter is called the epicenter.This is consistent with the meanings of the suffixes hypo- (beneath) and epi- (on or upon) like a hypodermic needle that goes beneath the skin - which is the epidermis.
What is the spot directly above the focus where an earthquakes occurs?
The spot directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the underground location where the earthquake starts, known as the focus or hypocenter.
Where is a danger spot during an earthquake?
the danger spot during an earthquake is at the epicenter wich is the place right above were the earthquake was originaly started.
The is the spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurred?
the spot above the centre of the earthquake is called the epicentre.
If the focus and the epicenter of an earthquake were in the exact same spot where would that spot have to be?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! If the focus and epicenter of an earthquake were in the exact same spot, that spot would be right beneath the Earth's surface. It's like painting a beautiful landscape with all the details in just the right place. Just remember, every spot has its own unique beauty and purpose.
What is the name of the location where a rupture starts?
It's the "Fracture Center". The Epicenter is the spot directly above the earth that is the center of the earthquake.
What is the name of the location where a fault rupture starts?
It's the "Fracture Center". The Epicenter is the spot directly above the earth that is the center of the earthquake.
What is the point of origin of an earthquake called as opposed to the spot on the surface of the earth directly above this center?
The point of initial rupture is called the focus. The point above the focus where the seismic waves first reach the surface is the epicenter. The focus is underground, and the epicenter is on the surface, basically. I hope this helped. :-) NOTE: the focus may also be referred to as the hypocenter. They're the same thing.
