The Epicenter
The term for the point directly above the place where an earthquake originates is the epicenter.
The term for the point on Earth's surface directly above the place where an earthquake originates is the "epicenter."
The point directly above the hypocenter is called the epicenter. It is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake starts and is usually where the strongest shaking is felt.
The area directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originates in the crust.
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is known as the epicenter. It is the location on the Earth's surface vertically above where the earthquake originated underground.
The place directly above the earthquake's starting point is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above where the earthquake originates underground along the fault line.
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
The part of an earthquake that is directly above the focus is called the epicenter. It is the point on the Earth's surface vertically above the earthquake's point of origin, where the seismic waves are most strongly felt.
No, the location on the surface directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter, not the focus. The focus is the actual point within the Earth where the earthquake originates.
The epicenter
The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin.
No, the location on the Earth's surface directly above the epicenter of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. The focus is the actual point within the Earth where the earthquake originates, whereas the epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus.
