The place of earths surface above the location that rock breaks during an earthquake is the?
The place on Earth's surface directly above the location where rock breaks during an earthquake is called the epicenter. The epicenter is important because it helps to identify the point on the surface that experiences the strongest shaking and the most intense effects of the earthquake. This term is distinct from the focus, which is the actual underground point where the earthquake originates.
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.
What do you call the point of the earths surface directly above where an earthquake originates?
The epicenter
What is the point on earths surface directly over the earthquake?
The term describing this point is "epicentre"
How does earths surface and the structures on the surface change as a result of an earthquake?
The surface of the Earth can be changed by resulting from outer space, like from a meteor strike.
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
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.
What is the earth point on earths surface directly of the surface of the earthquake?
This is known as the epicentre.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What is the point on earths surface where an earthquake energy is received?
epicenter
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.
How do earthquake activity change the earths surface?
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
How can an earthquake change the earths surface?
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
What is an earthquake that may be far below the earths surface?
it is called the interior
The earths surface where most earthquake damage occurs is called the?
Epicenter
