Seismic

  • The Focus or Seismic Focus is also called the hypocenter of an earthquake. The vibrating waves travel away from the focus of the earthquake in all directions. The waves can be so powerful they will reach all parts of the Earth and cause it to vibrate like a tuning fork. The focus is the exact point inside the crust of the earth where the quake begins.
