earthquake occurs on a fault.

an earthquake or earthquakes is are caused by a sudden where

of a fault tectonic place are always slowly moving but they grind
to a house at their edges thanks to friction when the strain on
the sting overcomes the friction there is an earthquake that
releases energy waves that travel through the cross and cause
the shaking the pupil.

hypocenter
-is where an earthquake traction is the point within the earth
-where an earthquake rupture starts.
-"focus"

epicenter
-is the point directly above it at the surface of the earth.

For the instruments in detecting and reading the earthquake,

seismograph are instrument to record the motion of the bottom
during an earthquake, they are installed within the ground
throughout a planet and operated as a part of asus graphic
network. The earlist seismoscope was invented by the chinese
philosopher "Zhang Heng" during 132 A.D.
this didn't however record earthquakes it only indicated that an
earthquake was occurring.
the primary seismograph was developed in 1890. A
seismograph is securely mounted on to the surface of the
world in order that when the world shakes the whole unit
shakes with it apart from the mass on the spring which has
inertia and remains within the same place because the
seismograph shakes under the mass the recording device
on the mass records the relative motion between itself and
therefore the remainder of the instrument thus recording
the bottom motion that actuallly this mechanism are not
any longer manual but instead work by measuring
electronic changes produced by the motion of the bottom
with reference to the mass.

A seismogram is that the recording of the bottom shaking

at the precise location of the instrument. On a sesimogram
the horizontal axis is equal to time which is the measured
or we measured in seconds and therefore the vertical axis
that is equal to ground spaceman usually measured in
milimeters. So that when there's no earthquake reading
there's just a line apart from small wiggles caused by local
disturbance or noise and therefore the time markers.
Seismogram are digitally now so there are not anymore
paper recordings.
Fault
-may be a teamzone of gravial sperating blocks on the crust
when an earthquake occurs on one among this faults the
rock on one side of the faults slips with reference to the
opposite.
-are often centimeters to thousands of kilameters long. The
fault surface are often vertical, horizontal or some angle to
the surface of the earth.
-can extend deep in to the world and should or might not
extend up to the surface.

Two types of vertical fault that are recognized;

Footwall block-is the block which would be under the feet of

a person standing in a tunnel on the fault plane.
Hanging Wall block-would be then be hanging over head.

(normal)Dip-slip fault-in which to block above the fault has

move downward relative to the block below, this type of
faulting occurs in response to extension, occurs when the
hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.

(thrust)Dip-slip fault- in which the upper block above the

fault plane moves up an over the lower block,this type of
faulting is common in areas of compression. When the deep
angle is shallow are reverse fault is often described as a
trust fault occurs where the hanging wall moves up or
eastwest over the footwall.

Strike-slip faults-a fault which on the two blocks slide pass

one another. "San Andreas Fault" is an example of a RIGHT
LATERAL FAULT.
