where are earthquake epicentres mostly located?

ANSWER:-

  • The Epicenter of the earthquake is located directly above the focus or hypo-centre of the earthquake from where the earthquake commences at depth.

  • An Earthquake can be a very severe natural disaster which causes enormous amounts of destruction in its wake.

  • The surface expression of an earthquake is known as the Epicenter of an earthquake.

  • Earthquakes generally begin deep within the surface of the Earth whereas shallow earthquakes are however located up to depths of 70 km. Most populations of the world are more familiar with the term epicentre than the hypo-centre, as the epicentre is simpler to plot on the map

  • The epicentre verges to be the point on the surface that undergoes the most shaking. It is the main and first spot the seismic waves hit on the surface after the introductory rupture has arisen.
