What is it called at the point where a fault first slips?
According to wikipedia: An earthquake's hypocenter is the position where the strain energy stored in the rock is first released, and is the point where the faultbegins to rupture

How are elastic strain energy are released during an earthquake?
elastic strain is released when the two plates are either slipping past each other or pulling apart or coming together
Strain energy definitions?
Strain energy is a form of potential energy. Work done to distort an elastic member is stored as strain energy. Some energy may be lost in plastic deformation of the member and some may be converted into heat instead of stored as strain energy, but the rest is recoverable. A spring is an example of a storage device for strain energy.
Why not all movement along faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the strain energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces. Some faults move easily and thus no strain energy builds up.
Is a seismic wave a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake as elastic strain is released?
Secondary wave (s wave )
What energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?
If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. Latent energy. Potential energy
Find an expression for the energy density in terms of stress and strain?
The expression for the energy density in terms of stress and strain can be expressed as ρe.
What is strain energy theory?
The strain theory is a state of deviation from bond angle of a normal tetrahedral angle.
Energy stored by a stretcher or compressed object?
it is called strain energy
What is the unit of strain energy?
Unit of strain energy is newton.meter or joule
What energy transformations allows you to send a rubber band flying across the room?
elastic potential energy:]The rubber band has strain energy, equal to the band 1/2 spring constant times the square of the stretch. This is converted to kinetic energy when released.
