1.Frost Wedging (Freeze-Thaw)

Water expands by 9 percent when it freezes. As it expands, it exerts up to 4.3 million pounds per square foot of pressure. Since water seeks low points, repeated freezing and thawing can lead to deep vertical fissures as cracks are extended downward. Cracks that allow entry of roots lead to similar wedging.


2.Crystal Formation

Crystal formation cracks rock in a similar way. Most water contains dissolved salts. When water in rock fissures evaporate, the salt concentration increases, which leads to crystallization. This occurs in arid regions where the humidity fluctuates widely, so that the salt can be redissolved and carried into new fissures.

Which phrase describes a feature of an earthquake’s epicenter?
Vadim26 [7]

The phrase which best describes a feature of an earthquake’s epicenter is: C. Region directly above the focus.

An earthquake refers to a sudden, natural shaking of the ground, due to series of movement within the Earth's crust and upper mantle (lithosphere) typically producing seismic waves.

An earthquake’s epicenter can be defined as the point on the surface of planet Earth, which is perpendicular to the hypocenter, directly above the focus and it typically indicates where the seismic waves from an earthquake are most intense.

On a seismic hazard map, an earthquake’s epicenter is generally located at the point where there is an intersection of the three (3) circles because earthquake are generally shallow.

In conclusion, the region which is directly above the focus is a feature of an earthquake’s epicenter.
