When an earthquake occurs seismic waves travel outward from the?
Epicentre.
What is the relationship between the focus of an earthquake and its epicenter?
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.
What is an earthquake belts?
An earthquake belt is a narrow zone on the Earth's surface where most seismic activity occurs. These are usually located at plate boundaries or fault lines.
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The epicenter
The location within earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs?
the first motion of an earthquake occurs in the epicenter.
Are S-waves the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location?
No. P-waves (or primary waves) are the first waves to arrive.False. P waves are the first waves to arrive after an earthquake occurs
Which type of seismic waves arrives at distant points before any other seismic waves?
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
When an earthquake occurs seismic waves travel outward from the?
Epicentre.
When do seismic waves occur?
when an earthquake occurs
What is the relationship between focus and the epicenter of an earthquake?
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.

What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
What are the first waves to arrive when a earthquake occurs?
P waves
Which type of seismic waves will reach a nearby city first when an earthquake occurs?
Primary and secondary waves.
