The answer is c. on the earth’s surface directly above the initial release of seismic energy.
The definition of an epicentre: the point on the earth's surface directly above the origin of an earthquake (Cambridge Dictionary)
In Geology, we said that it is directly above the focus, which is the initial release of seismic energy mentioned in the above sentence.
As the other options do not have the correct location (e.g. within the Earth's surface, beneath the focus).
Therefore, the answer is c. on the earth’s surface directly above the initial release of seismic energy.
Hope it helps!
No I don’t think that von thuunen model is viable
A. The heat from buildings melts the ice in the permafrost below and the water is then displaced.
Explanation:
- Permafrost are frozen soils in temperate and polar regions.
- For a long period of time, if the soil remains frozen due to the presence of water that remains above freezing point, permafrosts forms.
- Permafrost are usually a bane to construction works.
- When the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline was being built, accommodation was made for the permafrost in the terrain.
- Buildings sitting on permafrost can cause the soil to heat thereby releasing the frozen soil as melt water with soil.
- This can cause displace of buildings in very serious cases.
