The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus (hypocenter) of the earthquake. It's location can be pinpointed using seismographs that record the seismic waves.
The point is the epicentre of the earthquake.
Its epicentre
The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the earth's surface away from which the seismic waves produced by an earthquake radiate. This is similar to the way waves or ripples in a pond move outwards in concentric circles from the point where you throw a stone into the water. As such the epicentre is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's focus or hypocentre (the point within the earth where the fault rupture or movement actually occurs).
The focus of an earthquake is the actual point underground where the seismic energy is released, creating the earthquake rupture. It is located beneath the Earth's surface along the fault line where the tectonic plates have shifted.
Your standing on it! P-waves travel faster than S-waves through the Earth. As such the further away a seismometer station is from the epicentre of an Earthquake, the larger the difference between arrival times will be. By the same logic this means that the closer you get to the epicentre, the smaller the difference in arrival time will be until your at the epicentre when the difference will be zero!
Most of the devastation was from the epicentre.
Manalapan EpiCentre was created in 2002.
EpiCentre K was created in 2003.
Epicentre is point where earthquake shock first reaches on surface so damage shown at epicentre is great
Yes the word epicentre is a noun. It is a common noun.
Live at the Epicentre was created in 2004-09.
Seismographs placed around the planet detect the vibrations and calculate the epicenter using triangulation.
The point is the epicentre of the earthquake.
good nice question but the epicentre was europe
the epicentre is just above the focus of an eq The focus is where the greatest destruction occurs due to the shockwaves being most powerful here. Therefore when you know where the focus is, above it (i.e. the ground) is the epicentre HOPE THAT HELPS by: writingguitar =]
Its epicentre
The underground centre of an earthquake is the Hypocentre or focus.
