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 the layer of the atmosphere that is closest to the Earths surface?
The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. It contains most of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather events occur.
Is The location on earths surface directly above the epicenter is called the focus?
yes
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
What is an earthquake that may be far below the earths surface?
it is called the interior
The earths surface where most earthquake damage occurs is called the?
Epicenter
What do we call the point beneath earths surface where the earthquake originates?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
The layer of gas closest to earths surface is called the?
Troposphere
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.
What gradually changes earths surface?
an earthquake
What layer is closest to earths surface?
The crust
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.
The point on earths surface right above the spot where the first movement of an earthquake occurs is called earthquakes?
Focus
The atmospheric layer closest to the earths surface is called the?
The atmospheric layer closest to the Earth's surface is called the troposphere. It extends up to around 10 kilometers above the Earth's surface and contains the majority of the Earth's weather phenomena.
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
