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.

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

A Richter scale measures the movement of the earths surface which happens during an earthquake.
an earthquake
The point beneath the Earth's surface where the crust breaks and triggers an earthquake is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the location where the accumulated stress along a fault line is released, resulting in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is known as the epicenter.
