geo004 quiz 3
The _____ is where an earthquake starts and the _____ is a surface point on a map directly above the _____ .
Answer 1: hypocenter Answer 2: epicenter Answer 3: hypocenter so it's : The hypocenter is where an earthquake starts and the epicenter is a surface point on a map directly above the hypocenter .
Normal faulting occurs when the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall. True False
False
