Earthquakes
Earthquakes are violent events caused by sudden movements of the Earth’s crust.
Inside the Crust
- Hypocenter (Focus): The point within the Earth where an earthquake originates.
- Seismic Waves: Oscillations/vibrations that start at the hypocenter and travel through the Earth’s inner layers.
