Epicentre

The video explains the origin of earthquakes, focusing on the initial point where tension in a fault is released. This release point, known as the focus, is typically where the most damage occurs during an earthquake.

What is the starting point of an earthquake called?

• Epicenter

• Hypocenter

• Fault Line

• Seismic Zone

Where does the initial focus of an earthquake occur?

• In the ocean

• On the surface

• Deep underground

• At the fault line

What happens at the initial focus of an earthquake?

• Tension is released

• Volcano erupts

• Waves are generated

• Crust is formed

Where is the most damage usually observed during an earthquake?

• In the surrounding areas

• Along the fault line

• At the initial focus

• At the epicenter

What is the relationship between the initial focus and damage during an earthquake?

• No damage occurs at the initial focus

• Damage is evenly distributed

• Most damage occurs at the initial focus

• Damage is minimal at the initial focus
