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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the point beneath earths surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called the?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
What is the point on earths surface where the seismic activity is strongest in an earthquake?
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.

Obsidian
What happens alonge a fault beneath earths surface when an earthquake happens?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What do we call the point beneath earths surface where the earthquake originates?
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.

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

What is measured by Richter scale?
A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
What gradually changes earths surface?
an earthquake
What lies directly beneath the earths surface?
crust
What happens when rocks beneath earth surface undergo stress?
what happens when rocks beneath earths surface under goes trees
How is an earhquake started?
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.
