When the location on the earths surface is directly above the epicenter is called the focus?
no
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.
What is the point on the earths surface that is directly above where the earthquake begins?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake begins is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the surface vertically above the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake, where the seismic waves originate. Seismologists use the epicenter to locate and map earthquake events.
Underground center of an earthquake?
The point within Earth where an earthquake originates is called the focus. The focus lies beneath the surface usually along faults where tectonic plates interact. From the focus, seismic waves radiate outward, causing the shaking felt on the surface at the epicenter.
The location on the earth's surface directly above the epicenter is called the focus?
Actually, the point on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin, which is called the focus, is referred to as the epicenter.
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earths focus?
The epicenter
The points on the earths surface directly above the focus of an earthquake?
epicenter
When the location on the earths surface is directly above the epicenter is called the focus?
no
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquake's focus called?
The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
What the difference between an earthquake's focus and it epicentre?
The focus is the point in the earths crust where the earthquake originates and the epicentre is the point in the earths surface directly above the focus.
What is the earths surface point directly above an earth quakes focus?
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. It is usually the point of greatest destruction.
Is The location on earths surface directly above the epicenter is called the focus?
yes
Epicenter?
the location on the surface directly above the focus
Is the location on the surface directly above the focus?
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.
Is the location on the earth's surface directly above the epicenter of an earthquake called the focus?
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.
What is the location on the surface directly above the earthquake focus called?
The location on the surface directly above the earthquake focus is called the epicenter.
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.
