What are the effects of deep focus earthquakes?
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.
Underground center of an earthquake?
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
What is it called when earthquakes start below Earth's surface?
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!
Is the epicenter?
Epicenter is used in the field of earth quakes. Epicenter means the spot where the earth quake occured or where the effects were felt the strongest
What is the point underground where faulting occurs during an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the underground spot where the rock movement came from. The epicenter is the point on the surface above the focus.
What is the location deep underground where the first motion of an earthquake occurs?
Epicenter!!
Where is the location underground where an earthquake starts?
I want to know. But I'm 100% sure they start underground err...yeah
What mean earthquake focus?
asw2. The epicentre is the underground location of the earthquake, and the focus is the point on the surface directly above the epicentre.
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The epicenter
Does the word focus mean the location of an earthquake?
The word focus (or hypocentre) is used to describe the location within the Earth where an earthquake occurs. The point directly above this on the Earth's surface is known as the earthquake's epicentre.

Underground center of an earthquake?
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
Is an earthquake epicenter located underground?
An earthquake epicenter is always located on the ground right about the focus. The focus occurs where one piece of land slides against another. The sliding can be up and down or sideways or a combination of up-down and sideways. There can also be surface indications. The main action occurs underground.
Where does the point in the earths interior where the energy of an earthquake occurs?
The point underground where the energy is released (causing the earthquake) is the focus point. This area is the actual origin of the earthquake. It should not be confused with the epicenter, which is the point above ground where the earthquake originates.
When an earthquake occurs S waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location.?
true
