Describe how earthquakes are caused on the surface of the earth.
What is the difference between seismic focus and epicentre?
following
Answers
Explanation:
Epicenter is the place on Earth's surface directly above the focus, or hypocenter, where the earthquake happened. (Recorded during a 2007 teacher workshop on earthquakes and tectonics. Speaker is Dr. Robert Butler, University of Portland Oregon)
Keypoints:
Epicenter is the location on the surface of the Earth directly above where the earthquake starts. Focus (aka Hypocenter) is the location in the Earth where the earthquake starts
hope helpful to you ❤️ please mark has brilliant please mark has brilliant please ❤️
Answer:
The short answer is that earthquakes are caused by faulting, a sudden lateral or vertical movement of rock along a rupture (break) surface. ... This is plate tectonics--the motion of immense rigid plates at the surface of the Earth in response to flow of rock within the Earth.
The point inside the crust where the pressure is released is called the focus . The point on the Earth's surface above the focus is called the epicentre . Earthquake energy is released in seismic waves
