During inter-seismic periods (when there is no earthquake), _______________, whereas
during earthquakes, ___________________.
By definition, the epicenter of an earthquake is _______________.
There are three characteristics that control the amount of shaking one feels from an
earthquake. The first
is the earthquake itself, including its magnitude and
other physical characteristics of the rupture. The second refers to the route
those seismic waves take and the material they pass through. The third
refers to the characteristics of the location of the person or building who is feeling the
earthquake waves.
