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 does the Earths crust have to do with a Earthquake?
The Earth's crust is where earthquakes typically occur. When tectonic plates, which make up the crust, slide against each other, it can build up stress that is eventually released as an earthquake. The crust's composition and structure play a significant role in how seismic waves travel during an earthquake.
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.
Where does the point in the earths interior where the energy of an earthquake occurs?
The point underground where the energy is released (causing the earthquake) is the focus point. This area is the actual origin of the earthquake. It should not be confused with the epicenter, which is the point above ground where the earthquake originates.
What is a earthquack?
An earthquake is when two of the earths' plates shift to release tension between the two.
What happens scientifically during an earthquake?
There is a sudden movement in the earths crust in an earthquake. However, lava does not appear
What are the intense vibrations felt throughout earths crust during an earthquake?
Siesmac waves
Where can mountains be created?
At breaks in the earths crust; like the tectonic plates; an earthquake can trigger a volcano, and depending on what kind of volcano it is, it can form a mountain.
What is measured by Richter scale?
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
What caused the earthquake of japan?
The earthquake and tsunami were caused by a shift in the earths crust.
What are examples earths quakes?
ANSWER:A example of a earthquake is a Tsunami Earthquake in 2004
What is the point beneath earths surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called the?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
What results from a shifting of the Earths crust?
earthquake
What gradually changes earths surface?
an earthquake
What is the sudden of the earths crust?
earthquake/fissure
Is it when earths plate moves it erodes?
no that a earthquake
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
