Where is an earthquake's focus located?
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
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.
What is also known as the 'focus' - the place underground where an earthquake originates?
The point underground where an earthquake originates is known as the hypocenter or the focus. This is the specific location within the Earth's crust where the seismic energy is released, leading to the generation of seismic waves that cause the earthquake.
What are the two names for where an earthquake originates?
The focus is the point underground where the earthquake originates.The epicentre is the point on the surface directly above the focus, where earthquake waves seem to spread out from.
What is the epicenter of an earthquake?
The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the point within the Earth where the earthquake actually occurred (known as the focus or hypocentre). From this point on the surface the waves of the earthquake radiate outward like the ripples in a pond when a stone is thrown in.
Geologists use circles to find the epicenter of an earthquake what does the center of each circle re?
Focus Center
What does the center of each circle represent in the epicenter of an earthquake?
it is the seismic focus center
What does the center of each earthquake circle represent?
It represent the seismic wave focus centerThe center of each circle is a seismograph's location.
Where is an earthquake's focus located?
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
What is the focus and epicenter of an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
The point at which an earthquake begins is called?
The point at which an earthquake begins is called the focus or hypocenter.
What is focus and epicenter of an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.

Where is The focus of an earthquake is located?
the focus of an earthquake is beneath the surface of the earth in the crust.
What is the origin of an earthquake called?
The origin of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the point underground where the earthquake rupture begins.
What is focus in earthquake?
The center of an earthquake is the epicenter.
What happens if their was an earthquake?
AN EARTHquake first reaches a place that is focus strong earthquakes are in the epicentre but this is not the place from where earthquake originates i.e focus
