What else can I help you with?
What is the point of earths surface directly above the earths focus?
The point on Earth's surface directly above the Earth's focus is known as the "epicenter." It is the location where seismic waves first reach the surface during an earthquake, making it the area typically most affected by the quake. The epicenter is crucial for assessing damage and understanding the earthquake's impact on nearby communities.
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
How do earthquake activity change the earths surface?
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
The earths surface where most earthquake damage occurs is called the?
Epicenter
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.
The point on the earths surface closest to the origin of an earthquake is called?
The point on the earth's surface closest to the origin of an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is where the seismic waves generated by the earthquake first reach the surface.
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 gradually changes earths surface?
an earthquake
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 earth point on earths surface directly of the surface of the earthquake?
This is known as the epicentre.
What is the point of earths surface directly above the earths focus?
The point on Earth's surface directly above the Earth's focus is known as the "epicenter." It is the location where seismic waves first reach the surface during an earthquake, making it the area typically most affected by the quake. The epicenter is crucial for assessing damage and understanding the earthquake's impact on nearby communities.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
What is the point on earths surface where an earthquake energy is received?
epicenter
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What do we call the point beneath earths surface where the earthquake originates?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
How do earthquake activity change the earths surface?
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
How can an earthquake change the earths surface?
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
