What is the earth point on earths surface directly of the surface of the earthquake?
This is known as the epicentre.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
The points on the earths surface directly above the focus of an earthquake?
epicenter
What do you call the point of the earths surface directly above where an earthquake originates?
The epicenter
How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquake's focus called?
The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
What is the point on earths surface directly over the earthquake?
The term describing this point is "epicentre"
What the difference between an earthquake's focus and it epicentre?
The focus is the point in the earths crust where the earthquake originates and the epicentre is the point in the earths surface directly above the focus.
What is the earths surface that is directly above the origin of an earthquake?
the plates under the ground banging together
What happens alonge a fault beneath earths surface when an earthquake happens?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What is measured by Richter scale?
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
What is the point on the earths surface that is directly above where the earthquake begins?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake begins is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the surface vertically above the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake, where the seismic waves originate. Seismologists use the epicenter to locate and map earthquake events.
