It may rise of fall, shift to one side, tilt, crack, or have no apparent change.
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.
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.
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.
Earthquake
yes
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
it get weak
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
an earthquake
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
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.
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
This is known as the epicentre.
Collide

the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
