The Hypocenter
Also known as the 'focus', it is the area underground where an earthquake originates.
That is a fault line.
the energy of an earthquake, called seismic waves,originates from a point called the ? epicenter
earthquakes under seafloor can lead to tsunamis
The underground centre of an earthquake is the Hypocentre or focus.
hypocenter
The point underground where an earthquake originates is known as the hypocenter or the focus. This is the specific location within the Earth's crust where the seismic energy is released, leading to the generation of seismic waves that cause the earthquake.
Also known as the 'focus', it is the area underground where an earthquake originates.
The point on Earth's surface directly above the place where an earthquake originates is known as an epicenter.
An earthquake originates at a point underground called the hypocenter or focus. This is where the seismic energy is released, causing the ground to shake. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter is called the epicenter.
The place directly above the earthquake's starting point is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above where the earthquake originates underground along the fault line.
AN EARTHquake first reaches a place that is focus strong earthquakes are in the epicentre but this is not the place from where earthquake originates i.e focus
That is a fault line.
the point directly above the focus is called the epicenter
The focus is the point underground where the earthquake originates.The epicentre is the point on the surface directly above the focus, where earthquake waves seem to spread out from.
the focus
The place on Earth's surface directly above the location where rock breaks during an earthquake is called the epicenter. The epicenter is important because it helps to identify the point on the surface that experiences the strongest shaking and the most intense effects of the earthquake. This term is distinct from the focus, which is the actual underground point where the earthquake originates.
