What do you call the area directly above the focus of an earthquake?
The area directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originates in the crust.
What do you call the point of the earths surface directly above where an earthquake originates?
The epicenter
What do you call the little earthquakes that come before a big earthquake?
Foreshock is what you call one of the little earthquakes that come before the big earthquake or main shock. The main shock may be followed by a little earthquake that's called the aftershock.
What do we call the point on the earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originates?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates is called the "epicenter." It is the location where the seismic waves first reach the surface, and it is typically used to describe the location of the earthquake in reports and maps. The actual point within the Earth where the earthquake starts is known as the "focus" or "hypocenter."
What do you call the waves of energy formed by an earthquake?
Potential energy is transformed into seismic waves during an earthquake :)
Does shaking of the earth cause any damage?
Yes. A shaking of the earth is call an earthquake. In some cases earthquakes can be absolutely devastating.
What do you call the vibration from an earthquake?

Does Auckland new Zealand have earthquakes?
All of New Zealand has earthquakes. Have a look for a map of NZ earthquakes 1990 - 99 on the gns.cri.nz website. Shallow earthquakes are spread indifferently throughout NZ. And these are the ones of most importance to buildings etc. Deep earthquakes have a different distribution, and are more closely associated with the descending Pacific Plate. The shallow earthquakes reflect the strains generated by the plate movement and the subsequent redistribution of strains.
What do you call the exact place an earthquake begins?
epicenter
What do you call the point of an earthquake that is at the surface?
It is called the epicentre.
What do we call earthquake waves?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for the shaking and damage caused by earthquakes.
