QUIZ – Earthquakes! REVIEW Please write CB : Your Name The correct answers will be IN RED Each Question is worth 1 POINT

1. What is the EPICENTER of an earthquake? The point where the earthquake starts. Usually underground The point on earth’s surface right above the earthquake’s starting point. The movement of the ground that is caused by a huge release of energy when plates shift. The core of the earth releases magma currents that help move tectonic plates.

2. What is the FOCUS of an earthquake? The starting location within earth at which an earthquake occurs. The dollar amount of damage done by an earthquake. The area that suffers the most damage from an earthquake. The seismic activity scientists study in order to predict earthquake patterns.
