The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus.
Convergent boundaries
Philippine Sea plate is bordered mostly by convergent boundaries.
Boundary
When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed.
Plate Tectonics
That explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth's subterranean movements.
Hot
The inner core is a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron.
Fault lines
Earthquakes occur all the time all over the world, both along plate edges and along faults.
PEIS
The intensity is generally higher near the epicenter. It is represented by Roman Numerals (e.g. II, IV, IX). In the Philippines, the intensity of an earthquake is determined using the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS).
Liquefaction
The shaking from an earthquake can turn loose soil into a liquid during an earthquake.
Intensity
The magnitude of an earthquake, usually expressed by the Richter Scale, is a measure of the amplitude of the seismic waves.
Seismic Waves
The energy released during an earthquake migrates away from the focus of the earthquake (location of the first break of the rocks) as waves.
