This video explains key earthquake and Earth structure vocabulary.
Seismic waves are energy waves that travel through the Earth during an earthquake.
The focus, also called the hypocenter, is the underground point where an earthquake begins and energy is released.
The epicenter is the spot on Earth’s surface directly above the focus and is usually where the strongest shaking occurs.
A plate boundary is where tectonic plates meet, and most earthquakes happen in these areas.
The core is the center of the Earth beneath the mantle, with a solid inner core and a liquid outer core, both made mostly of iron and nickel.
