Where is the earth focus located on?
The Earth's focus is located in the Earth's inner core, approximately 3,000 km (1,864 miles) beneath the surface at the center of the Earth. This is where seismic waves from earthquakes converge and the energy is concentrated.
The point within the earth where an earthquakes rupture starts?
focus
What are the effects of deep focus earthquakes?
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
What is it called when earthquakes start below Earth's surface?
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
