Answer 1

The correct identification of the terms for where an earthquake occurs is:

A. Focus, B. Epicenter, C. Fault

• The Focus (or Hypocenter) is the point within the Earth where the earthquake originates.
• The Epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus.
• A Fault is a fracture or zone of fractures in the Earth's crust that can lead to earthquakes.

So, the correct response is:

A.Focus, B.Epicenter, C.Fault.
