What happens when an earthquake originates under the sea floor?

What is also known as the 'focus' the place underground where an earthquake originates?
hypocenter
What is also known as the 'focus' - the place underground where an earthquake originates?
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.

Term for the point on Earth's surface directly above the place where an earthquake originates?
The point on Earth's surface directly above the place where an earthquake originates is known as an epicenter.
What is its place or origin of an earthquake?
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.
What is the place directly above the earyhquakes starting point?
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.
What happens if their was an earthquake?
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

the point directly above the focus is called the epicenter
What are the two names for where an earthquake originates?
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.
Where is the place under the ground where an earthquake originates also known as focus?
the focus
The place of earths surface above the location that rock breaks during an earthquake is the?
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.
