- Synopsis
- This diagram shows a cross section of the Earth's crust with the focus and the epicentre of an earthquake, and two buildings. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The diagram is framed by a dashed line image border. The Earth's crust occupies the bottom part of the diagram, stretching from left to right. It has a fine texture and at its centre is a small ring with five arrows radiating from it. This is the focus of the earthquake. Around this is another ring with six more arrows pointing outwards and yet more rings, only partially shown out from this. These represent the shock wave from the earthquake travelling through the ground. The epicentre, which is the area on the surface of the Earth immediately above the focus, is shown in the middle of the page. In the top right hand corner of the page are two buildings about to be shaken by the shockwave.
