Answer:

Point D

Explanation:

The hypocenter of an earthquake is usually defined as the point from which an earthquake originates. It is also known as the focus of an earthquake.

In the given image, the plates share a type of plate boundary, where the plate moves along the fault line. Due to this movement, the rocks are adversely affected, and it tries to adjust along this region, as a result of which, a certain amount of energy is released. This energy is propagated towards the surface of the earth, affecting the water body, generating large waves which are commonly known as tsunami.

Thus, in the image above, the hypocenter (focus) of the underwater earthquake is point D which lies on the fault line.

Thus, the correct answer is Point D.

How is the cross sectional shape of a glacial valley different from a valley formed by stream erosion?
fgiga [73]
A glacial valley cross-sectional shape is a U shape whereas a stream valley is usually a V shape. The U shape comes from the scouring action of the alpine glaciers which carries rocks with it which can abrade the walls of the valley and the glacier occupies the whole valley so scours out such a shape whereas the stream cuts down and water washes in from the sides of the valley into the stream or river creating the V shape.
