Objectives Relate earthquake activity to plate tectonics Define earthquake, and identify the focus and epicenter of an earthquake. Describe the types of waves emitted during an earthquake. Distinguish between earthquake intensity and magnitude. Review some current methods of earthquake prediction. Why do ...
* Focus and Epicenter All earthquakes start beneath Earth’s surface. The focus of an earthquake is the point underground where rocks first begin to move. Seismic waves travel outward from the earthquake’s focus. The epicenter is the point on Earth’s surface directly above the focus. * ...

This tectonic interaction produces ground shaking of varying intensity, from high to moderate and low, with the epicenters often located in the northeast and extending southwest across the country. This study maps Afghanistan's tectonic structures, identi- fying the most active geological faults and ...
