How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What is the earth point on earths surface directly of the surface of the earthquake?
This is known as the epicentre.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
What is the point on earths surface where an earthquake energy is received?
epicenter
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What is the definition of epicenter and focus?
The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake, where the seismic waves are most strongly felt. The focus, or hypocenter, is the actual location underground where the earthquake originates.
