The focus of an earthquake is the point within Earth where an earthquake originates. The epicenter is the location on Earth's surface directly above the focus, or origin, of an earthquake. I think the focus is more important because it is exactly underground where the earthquake started out.
The focus of an earthquake is the point in the earth where the earthquake rupture or fault movement actually occurred. The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly above the focus. I think the epicenter is more important to know because you need to know were the center of the earthquake was on the earth's surface.
The focus of the 'quake is the initial point of rupture. The epicenter is right above the focus and its where the earthquake originates. I think that the epicenter is more important because it is where the 'quake starts/originates. So with out the epicenter there is no focus.
The focus of an earthquake is the point where the actual earthquake fault occured. The epicenter is where the earthquake is felt on the surface. I think the epicenter is most important because it is where the people will feel the earthquake.
The focus of an earthquake is the underground point at which an earthquake's wave actually originates. On earth's surface, the point directly above the focus is called the epicenter. Personally, I think that the focus of an earthquake is more important because that's where the actual earthquake takes place. I think that if we ever have a way of predicting earthquakes, the focus will be very important because we can measure suspicious waves underground to help us predict earthquakes.
An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The epiccenter is the point at ground level directly above the hyocenter. I bleieve that both these aspects are very important. You need the epicenter to be able to know if there was an actual earthqauke to find research on how to detect it next time and you also need a focus because it gives you most of your information about the earthquake.
An earthquakes point of initial rupture is called the focus. the epicenter is the point directly above the focus. they are both important. you need the epicenter to be able to tell if there was an actual earthquake or not.
Without the focus of the earthquake, which is the exact point of the earthquake, you wouldn't tell where the epicenter is. So I think that the focus is more important.
The focus of an earthquake is better known as the central point or basically where activity occurs. On the other hand the epic center is the location on Earth’s surface directly above the focus. I would have to agree with Naquan, without the epic center there is no focus because the epic center is basically where it initially begins.
The focus of an earthquake is the point within Earth that the release of pressure, rupture, or actual earthquake takes place. The epicenter is the place on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus. I believe that the focus is more important, because if we can identify the pressure inside a fault, we might be able to predict earthquakes.
The epicenter of an earthquake is the place o earth's surface that the earthquake is felt. The focus is the actual place in the earth that the earthquake occurs. The focus is more important because it shows where earthquakes actually happen.
The focus is the point of the earth that an earthquake is formed at. The epicenter on the other hand is where the earthquake is actually felt on the earth's surface. The focus is important because it can warn about the earthquake almost as soon as it happens, usually before the epicenter is effected.
The epicenter of an earthquake is the location on Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake. The focus of an earthquake is the point within Earth that the earthquake originates. I would say the epicenter is more important because that is where the major action happens. If an earthquake is big enough, it could cause a lot of damage.
The focus of an earthquake is the point where the tectonic plates in the Earth's crust either collide, split, or slide against each other. The epicenter is the spot directly above the focus in an earthquake. I think the focus is more important. If you don't know the exact location of the focus, the epicenter is just a guess. And besides the epicenter isn't as accurate as one would think
