The San Francisco earthquake of 1989, also known as the Loma Prieta earthquake, had its epicenter located approximately 6.9 miles (11.1 kilometers) underground. It struck on October 17, 1989, with a magnitude of 6.9, causing significant damage in the San Francisco Bay Area. The depth of the quake contributed to the intensity of the shaking experienced on the surface.
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.
An earthquake deep underground releases seismic energy in the form of seismic waves. These waves carry energy from the point of the earthquake's origin (the focus) and cause the ground to shake as they propagate through the Earth's crust.
Deep underground, an earthquake is caused by the release of stress that has built up between tectonic plates. This sudden release of energy generates seismic waves that propagate through Earth's crust, leading to the shaking of the ground surface.
Because Asteroids Hit earth and the minerals go into the ground or get buried deep into the sea . The minerals the grow underwater and deep underground .
Deep underground.
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake originated from a fault rupture along the San Andreas Fault, with its epicenter located near San Francisco. The earthquake's depth was approximately 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 kilometers) underground. This shallow depth contributed to the extensive damage experienced in the city and surrounding areas.
False, the focus is located deep underground. The epicenter is at ground level
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.
yeah, sure whatever
Epicenter!!
An earthquake deep underground releases seismic energy in the form of seismic waves. These waves carry energy from the point of the earthquake's origin (the focus) and cause the ground to shake as they propagate through the Earth's crust.
Deep underground, an earthquake is caused by the release of stress that has built up between tectonic plates. This sudden release of energy generates seismic waves that propagate through Earth's crust, leading to the shaking of the ground surface.
The epicenter, a point on the earth's surface directly over the focus, is where the first motion of an earthquake will be felt.The first motion of an earthquake is created at the focus, the point deep underground where the first break in the fault line occurs.
An example of an earthquake focus is the point underground where the seismic energy is released, causing the earthquake. This focus can vary in depth from shallow (less than 70 km) to intermediate (70-300 km) to deep (greater than 300 km) within the Earth's crust.
in the core
That is quite shallow for an earthquake.
