Geography

$An illustrated diagram depicting the various components of an earthquake. The epicenter, marked with a red point, is the surface point directly above the seismic source. A fault line is shown, indicating the fracture zone within the Earth's crust where movement occurred. The focus, or hypocenter, is the exact point within the Earth where the seismic energy originates. Additionally, wave fronts radiate outward from the focus, demonstrating the propagation of seismic waves through the Earth.$
