A lot of damage and deaths. Buildings crashing down; bridges twisted; fires from broken gas lines; no heat, phone or electricity for who knows how long; people living in shelters for extended periods of time. The worse though is the mental strain eg; Is my sister alright? Did my husband stay late at work and miss this? What is really left of my home? Will we ever get things back to order?
What else can I help you with?
What happens above the earth ground during and earthquake?
During an earthquake, seismic waves travel through the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake. Above the Earth's surface, buildings and structures can sway, shake, or even collapse depending on the intensity of the earthquake. Other effects can include landslides, tsunamis, and ground ruptures in more severe cases.
What is the location on the surface directly above the earthquake fous?
The location on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake focus is referred to as the epicenter. This is the point where seismic waves originating from the earthquake focus first reach the surface. It is usually where the strongest shaking is felt during an earthquake.
What is the spot directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. It is the point where the seismic energy is first released and is typically where the strongest shaking is felt during an earthquake.
What is directly above the epicenter?
Nothing, the epicenter is dirrectly above the focus. Nothing, the epicenter is dirrectly above the focus.
What is the spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs?
The spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. It is usually the point on the Earth's surface closest to where the seismic waves originate deep within the Earth.

Is it safer below or above the ground during an earthquake?
Above ground. If you are below ground then there is something above you and this may collapse on you. The safest place to be during an earthquake is on the ground out in the open where nothing can fall on you. Earthquakes do not kill many people directly, it is falling buildings that do that.
What happens above ground after an earthquake?
yousally the are followed by much smaller quakes
What happens along fault beneath Earth's surface when an earthquake occurs?
if your on a fault it will shake and shift ground above
What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What happens at the epicenter during an earthquake?
Since the epicenter is the point on the earth's surface that is directly above the focus, or starting point, of the earthquake, it usually suffers the strongest shaking and the most severe damage.
What do you do if you are outside during an earthquake?
Try to find an area where there is nothing above you and then get as low to the ground as you can. But if you can, try to get to a vehicle, because that will offer you more protection from falling debris and ground collapse.
What is a focus?
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.
Where is a danger spot during an earthquake?
the danger spot during an earthquake is at the epicenter wich is the place right above were the earthquake was originaly started.
Whats the difference between the epicenter of an earthquake and the focus of the earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the place where an earthquake occurred along the fault underground, while the epicenter is the place directly above it where the seismic waves were felt.The focus is where an earthquake starts and the epicenter is where the earthquake hits the hardest.The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicenter is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicenter is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.
Where can earthquakes NOT happen?
Above ground. anything connected to the ground would be affected by an earthquake due to the earth being layered by tectonic plates. Therefore space is earthquake free :]
