It's important to be able to distinguish between minor earthquakes that cause no damage or fatalities and major earthquakes that result in horrific loss of life. That's why we usually describe earthquakes by giving them a number on either the Richter scale or the Mercalli scale.
An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earthâs surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter. Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows. Scientists canât tell that an earthquake is a foreshock until the larger earthquake happens. The largest, main earthquake is called the mainshock.
