Answer:

B

Explanation:

Oceanic crust is the Earth's lithosphere's outermost layer located under the oceans and formed on the oceanic ridges at spreading centers that occur at divergent plate boundaries (ridge axis).

It is covered by a thin blanket of sediment that thickens away from the ridge axis.

Oceanic crust is different from the continental crust in numerous ways. For instance; It is younger, thinner, and denser than continental crust. Furthermore, It also has a different chemical composition.

Which of the following is the point underground where rock layers first move during an earthquake? Epicenter Focus Fault Crosspo
OverLord2011 [107]

The correct answer is - Focus.

Focus of the earthquake, also referred to as hypocenter, is the location/point where the earthquake starts. It is usually few kilometres below the surface. At this spot the ground raptures after which seismic waves start radiating outward in all directions. The focus is located below the epicenter, or rather the epicenter is above it because the location of the epicenter is determined by the location of the focus, so the epicenter represents the closest point on the surface of the Earth from where the focus is.
