Answer 2

Epicenter is the central area where the fault movement occurs.

• The hypocenter is the point beneath the earth's surface where the earthquake begins, while the epicenter is the location directly above it on the earth's surface.
• A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures, between two blocks of rock.
• The blocks can move slightly to each other due to faults.
• This movement may happen quickly, as in an earthquake, or it can happen slowly, like in creep.
