Question
**Question 24**: Correctly identify these terms for where an earthquake occurs. [A, B, C] *1 point* **Diagram Description**: The image shows a cross-section of the Earth's layers with a fault line. There are three key points labeled A, B, and C: - **A**: Represented by a white arrow pointing along the fault line. - **B**: Indicated by a yellow arrow directed towards a point on the fault line where seismic waves originate. - **C**: Marked by a red arrow at the Earth's surface directly above point B, connected by a dashed line. **Options**: - A. Fault, B. Epicenter, C. Focus - A. Fault, B. Focus, C. Epicenter - A. Focus, B. Epicenter, C. Fault - A. Focus, B. Fault, C. Epicenter **Correct Answer**: A. Fault, B. Focus, C. Epicenter **Explanation**: - **A** is the *Fault*: The fracture along which the Earth's crust has moved. - **B** is the *Focus*: The initial point inside the Earth where the earthquake originates. - **C** is the *Epicenter*: The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus.
