The focus is the place inside Earth's crust where an earthquake originates. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus is the epicenter. When energy is released at the focus, seismic waves travel outward from that point in all directions.

Which of following clast sizes would be most likely transported in very fast moving water? silt cobbles sand?
Vitek1552 [10]
I would say that in very fast moving water such as in a river, the cobble size could be transported because cobbles are 64-256mm so are quite big and in a quiescent stream won't move much but in a freshet say in a steep mountain stream they can be rolled along such as I observed in the local streams at a mining town during the Hurricane Fifi in Honduras in 1974.
