The underground point where the earthquake rupture begins is thefocusor hypocenter. Theepicenterof an earthquake is the point on the ground directly above the focus. Earthquakes rupture a large zone of a fault around the focus. This rupture zone may be lopsided or symmetrical. Rupture may spread...
The seismic waves start in one place, called the epicenter (震中) , and roll outward. A seismic wave travels around the earth in about twenty minutes. Usually, an earthquake is strong enough to cause damage only near its epicenter. However, epicenters at the bottom of the ocean create ...
As well established, the seismic epicenter rarely coincides with the area of larger shaking. Instead, the higher macroseismic intensity corresponds to the area of larger vertical displacement (either downward or upward), besides local site amplification effects. Outside this area, the vertical ...
In the wake of a 6. 2-magnitude (震级) earthquake, 1 is vital that lines of communication remain open, and the temporary post stations in Jishishan county, the epicenter (震中) of the earthquake that struck on Dec 18, have played 2 crucial role in ensuring packages get in and out. ...
The location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter(震源),and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter(震中).可知,震源在震中的下面,断层面是板块之间的断截面。故选C。 根据本段的Since the edges of the plates ...
But ten years ago, the county was the epicenter of an 8.0-magnitude earthquake, which damaged an area of over 100,000 square kilometers, killing close to 70,000 people and injuring more than 370,000. A decade later, howe...
The region where the 06 February 2023,M7.5 earthquake sequence occurred is seismically active, although seismicity is moderate (<M7) compared to the nearby plate boundary zones in Turkey. The epicenter of this event places it on the Sürgü fault, directly west of the East Anatolian fault. ...
watched the news about the earthquake, and knew the epicenter (震中) was very far from us. After we watched the situation in the disaster area, I decided to volunteer to help those people right away.I arrived in the disaster area with a few other volunteers. We tried to help out the ...
