Answer (1)
7. Epicenter is on the surface above the hypocenter (focus) where the pressure is released.8. Body waves are waves felt in the interior of the earth. P-waves (Compressional/Primary) and S-waves (Shear/Secondary) are the waves under body waves. 9. Love waves cause the most damage because it moves rocks horizontally or right angles to the direction of a travelling wave.10. Earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the earth because of abrupt shifting of tectonic plates beneath the earth's surface.
