This is known as the focus or hypocentre of an earthquake.
What type of rock is formed from magma that hardens underground?
sedimentery rock
No, but it is always scary when there are things like rocks that could fall on you.
The underground water that fills opening in soil and cracks in layers of rocks is called ground water.
asthenosphere
Focus
No, the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the underground point where an earthquake originates is called the epicenter. The point in the ground where the rocks begin to shift is called the focus or hypocenter.
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the lower part of the Earth's mantle, known as the asthenosphere. This is where the temperature and pressure conditions allow for rocks to melt and form magma.
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.

The shaking or vibration in the underground rocks of the moon is called a moonquake. Moonquakes were first discovered by the Apollo astronauts and are known to last for as long as an hour.
Metamorphic rocks are produced by changing other rocks with temperature and pressure underground.
