When an earthquake occurs, stress that has built up along geological faults is suddenly released, causing rocks to break and slip. This release of energy generates seismic waves that propagate through the Earth's crust. Beneath the surface, this movement can result in shifts in the ground, creating fractures and altering the landscape. The intensity of these effects depends on the earthquake's magnitude, depth, and the geology of the surrounding area.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
batholith!! :)
It is an Earth quake

If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.

which are the following?

A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.

crust
what happens when rocks beneath earths surface under goes trees
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.
