The place where earth's slipping motion begins is called an earthquake's what?

The place where an earthquake's slipping motion begins is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the exact point underground where the seismic energy is released.


Where is the first motion of an earthquake occur?

It is called the epicenter which is the starting point.


What is the name of the kind of motion that causes an earthquake?

The kind of motion that causes an earthquake is called faulting, which occurs when there is sudden movement along a fault line in the Earth's crust. This movement releases stored energy in the form of seismic waves, leading to an earthquake.


IS Earthquake is force or motion?

An earthquake is a force craking in the air.


What is a tracing of earthquake motion?

seismogram


What is the tracing of an earthquake motion created by a seismograph?

The tracing of an earthquake motion created by a seismograph is known as a seismogram. It represents the ground motion recorded by the seismograph during an earthquake, displaying the amplitude and duration of seismic waves. Seismologists use seismograms to determine the magnitude, location, and depth of an earthquake.


Does the epicenter create the first motion of earthquake?

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.


What do you call the underwater forward motion of a submarine?

Propulsion. Propulsion provides the forward motion. The actual motion itself is called by the nautical term "way" as in "under way". It is the same term as applied to a surface ship and comes from the time well before steam power.


What fault motion was the Kobe Japan Earthquake?

it was a normal


How many times greater is the maximum ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake compared with that of a magnitude 3 earthquake?

The ground motion of a magnitude 5 earthquake is 100 times greater than that of a magnitude 3 earthquake. This is because each whole number increase in magnitude represents an increase in amplitude by a factor of 10.


If a submarine is moving backwards what forse is being caused?

A submarine rotates its turbines in the opposite direction of normal rotation to cause water to be drawn towards the submarine. The force causing the mass to be moved toward the bow of the submarine is counteracted by the force drawing the submarine backwards.
