Question

What is fault zone and epicenter ??? Explain…

Answer 1

The rupture begins at a point on the fault plane called the hypocenter, a point usually deep down on the fault. The epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the hypocenter. The rupture keeps spreading until something stops it (exactly how this happens is a hot research topic in seismology).

Fault Zone :- Zones which lie close to the boundaries of the tectonic plates are termed as fault zones.

Epicenter :- The point on the surface of the earth just vertically above the fault zone.
