What is the atmosphere closest to the earth called?
The first layer above the surface is the Troposphere. This is followed by the Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere
What is the definition of epicenter and focus?
The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake, where the seismic waves are most strongly felt. The focus, or hypocenter, is the actual location underground where the earthquake originates.
What is melted rock that has been exposed to earths surface?
'Magma' while it is still in or below the Earth's surface and when it reaches or flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'. Magma from the 'magma' chamber can form a 'lava lake' at the surface and the lake can drain down the volcano in 'lava tubes' to form 'lava flows' or 'pillow lavas' if the lava tubes drain into the sea.
The point beneath the surface where rock breaks and an earthquake is produced is known as the .?
The point beneath the surface where rock breaks and an earthquake is produced is known as the focus or hypocenter. This is the location where the seismic energy is first released during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is called the epicenter.
What is the place where an earthquake starts is called?
The place where an earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, also known as the focus. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic energy is first released, leading to the generation of seismic waves. The hypocenter is typically located beneath the Earth's surface along the fault line where the stress is released, causing the rocks to break and slip, resulting in an earthquake.
The point on earths surface right above the spot where the first movement of an earthquake occurs is called earthquakes?
Focus
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquake's focus called?
The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
The point on the earths surface closest to the origin of an earthquake is called?
The point on the earth's surface closest to the origin of an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is where the seismic waves generated by the earthquake first reach the surface.
What is the place on earth27s surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake called?
The place on Earth's surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the surface located vertically above the earthquake's focus (or hypocenter), where the seismic waves originate.
What is earths first layer of atmosphere called?
It's called lithosphere as I remember in science.
What was the first animal that touch the Earth's surface?
The dinosaur was the 1st animal to touch the earths surface.
The place on earth's surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake is called?
epicentre
What is the point on earths surface where seismic waves are first felt?
This is known as the epicentre.
What is the atmosphere closest to the earth called?
The first layer above the surface is the Troposphere. This is followed by the Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere
What is the name of the point on the surface of the earth's surface that is directly above the hypocenter or focus or where an earthquake or underground explosion originated?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter of an earthquake or underground explosion is called the epicenter. It is the point where the seismic waves created by the event first reach the surface.
The first layer of the earths atmosphere touching earths surf?
The first layer of the Earth's atmosphere is called the troposphere, and it is in direct contact with the Earth's surface. This layer is where weather events occur and where most of the Earth's clouds and precipitation are found. Temperature usually decreases with altitude in the troposphere.
What is the first number above the equals sign called?
the first number above the equals sign is called the minuend
