False, the focus is located deep underground. The epicenter is at ground level
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
yes earthquakes do
The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly vertically above the hypocenter (or focus) point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins.The epicenter is only "far from the center" on very deeply centered earthquakes where the hypocenter (or focus) point in the crust is very far from the surface. Many earthquakes are shallow.The depth of the hypocenter (or focus) point can be categorized as shallow (up to 70 km or 43.5 miles below the surface), intermediate (70 to 300 km), or deep (greater than 300 km or 186 miles).
Most are between 1 and 10 miles deep.
The difference between the epicentre and the focus of earthquakes is this:The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicentre is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.Hope this helped :)
Epicenter!!
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!
Deep underground, an earthquake is caused by the release of stress that has built up between tectonic plates. This sudden release of energy generates seismic waves that propagate through Earth's crust, leading to the shaking of the ground surface.
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.
Earthquakes are caused by processes that occur deep underground. It does not make a difference whether it is day or night.
yeah, sure whatever
The epicenter, a point on the earth's surface directly over the focus, is where the first motion of an earthquake will be felt.The first motion of an earthquake is created at the focus, the point deep underground where the first break in the fault line occurs.
Shallow-focus earthquakes cause more damage than deep-focus earthquakes. This is because shallow-focus earthquakes originate closer to the Earth's surface, which allows the energy to be more concentrated and lead to stronger shaking and more destruction of structures. Deep-focus earthquakes, occurring deeper underground, tend to have their energy dissipate before reaching the surface.
deep mining
because there by the edge of the tectonic plates.
The special defense area in district 13 located deep underground is called the "Nut," a heavily fortified bunker that serves as a strategic stronghold against enemy attacks.
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
