The point on the earths surface closest to the origin of an earthquake is called?
The point on the earth's surface closest to the origin of an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is where the seismic waves generated by the earthquake first reach the surface.
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquake's focus called?
The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
The point on earths surface where an earthquake starts is called?
Within the Earth, the focal point of the energy released in an earthquake is called the hypocentre or focus. This is where an earthquake actually begins. The place on the Earth's surface directly above this point is known as the epicentre.
What is A trembling of the earth's surface caused by changes beneath the surface is?
Earthquake
Is The location on earths surface directly above the epicenter is called the focus?
yes
How can an earthquake change the earths surface?
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
How do earthquake activity change the earths surface?
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
What would make the quickest changes to earths surface?
The quickest way to change the earth is an earthquake
How does earths surface and the structures on the surface change as result of an earthquake?
The surface of the Earth can be changed by resulting from outer space, like from a meteor strike.

What gradually changes earths surface?
an earthquake
How do earthquake and volcanoes change the earths surface?
earthquakes and volcanoes change the worl by pollution for example car pollution, Factorys etc...
How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What is the earth point on earths surface directly of the surface of the earthquake?
This is known as the epicentre.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What is the point on earths surface where an earthquake energy is received?
epicenter
