The Focus
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.
focus is the origin of an earthquake.
The point of origin of an Earthquake within the earth is known as the hypocentre. It can also be called the focus.Directly above this on the surface is the earthquake's epicenter.
This is known as the focus or hypocentre of an earthquake.
The Focus
The underground centre of an earthquake is the Hypocentre or focus.
This is known as the hypocenter or focus of the earthquake.
The origin of an earthquake underground is the focus, which is right under the epicenter which is the place above ground where an earthquake is felt.
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
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.
The "epicenter" is the point on the surface above the "hypocenter" or "focus" of the earthquake underground.
focus is the origin of an earthquake.
The focus and epicenter are both "earthquake points". The focus is the point of origin of an earthquake or underground nuclear explosion while the epicenter the very center or focal point.
The origin of an earthquake is called the epicenter.
An earthquake's epicentre is on the Earth's surface, directly above the underground hypocentre or focus.
The point of origin of an Earthquake within the earth is known as the hypocentre. It can also be called the focus.Directly above this on the surface is the earthquake's epicenter.
