What is the the point where rocks break and release energy in the form of seismic waves?

This is the point where the stress exceeds the strength of the rock leading to a brittle failure (or rupture) where cracks or fractures propagate through the rock mass. Where a pre-existing plane of weakness such as a fault is present this will control the failure behaviour with the shear strength of the fault plane rather than of the rock mass dominating the failure behaviour.

How are waves related to sound energy and seismic energy?
the energy in a wave begins to disperse as it gets farther from the point of origin, this is true for any wave including sound and seismic waves

Is melting point a periodic property?
A melting point is a periodic property. Melting point is basically the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds. The more energy required, the stronger the bonds and the higher the melting point. For example, Since Ionic bonds have a transfer of electrons, it requires a lot of energy to break the bonds and has a higher melting point.
