What is the definition of an epicentre of an earthquake?
The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the earth's surface away from which the seismic waves produced by an earthquake radiate. This is similar to the way waves or ripples in a pond move outwards in concentric circles from the point where you throw a stone into the water. As such the epicentre is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's focus or hypocentre (the point within the earth where the fault rupture or movement actually occurs).
Where is the focus located on an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the actual point underground where the seismic energy is released, creating the earthquake rupture. It is located beneath the Earth's surface along the fault line where the tectonic plates have shifted.

What are the types of transmission line faults?
these are the faults that occur in transmission line: 1. line to line fault 2. line to ground fault-this is the most common fault that occurs in tr. line(75%) 3. double line to ground fault 4. triple line to ground (or) 3 phase fault- this is the most serious and dangerous fault that occurs in transmission line.(but rarely occurs)
