FOCUS - is the place inside Earth's crust where an earthquake originates
EARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE- earthquake size is a quantitative measure if the size of the earthquake at it's source. the Richter magnitude scale measure the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake.
EARTHQUAKE INTENSITY- the severe of earthquake shaking is assessed using a descriptive scale-the modified mercalli intensity scale
ACTIVE FAULT- are structures along which we expect displacement to occur.
INACTIVE FAULT- are structures that we can identify, but which do no have earthquakes.
