What causes an earthquake and what negative effects can it have on the environment?
Movement of the Tectonic plates below the surface of the earth causes earthquakes. Negative effects of earthquakes are- 1 It causes a great damage to life and property. 2 It sometimes causes Tsunami also.
What is an earthquake that may be far below the earths surface?
it is called the interior
An earthquakes point below earth's surface where an earthquake begins?
Focus
What is the definition of a focus in an earthquake?
In geological terms, it is the point below the Earth's surface where seismic waves originate during an earthquake.
Why are there earthquakes?
The tectonic plates below the earth surface crash into each other forming a earthquake.
Explain the focus and the epicenter?
the focus is below the epicenter. the epicenter is where the focus is but on the surface. the focus is below the surface, it ranges in the depth. they show you the epicenter on the news, not the focus.
What is the depth of focus of an earthquake whose magnitude is 7.2 below sea level?
The depth of focus of an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 can range from 10 to 700 kilometers below the surface of the Earth. At this depth, the earthquake originates within the crust or upper mantle, releasing energy that can cause significant shaking and damage near the surface.
Is the focus of an earthquake the where the movement first occurs?
No, the focus of an earthquake refers to the point below the Earth's surface where the energy is released, initiating the rupture of the fault. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus where the earthquake's effects are most strongly felt.
How deep was the tohoku earthquake hypocenter?
The hypocenter of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, which triggered a powerful tsunami, was located about 29 kilometers (18 miles) below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
Is there a difference between the hypocenter and the focus of an earthquake?
No. The are both terms which describe the point or region within the earth's lithosphere below the surface where an earthquake begins.
Where is an earthquake focus found?
The focus of an earthquake is more properly called its hypocentre and is the point within the Earth where the earthquake actually occurred (i.e where the rupture actually starts).The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the hypocentre.Please see the related links.
What is the point just below the epicenter of an earthquake?
AnswerFocus?AnswerYes, the correct answer is, in fact, the focus. It is also known as the hypocenter. It is the place where the underground explosion known as an earthquake originates.
