GEOGRAPHY

Image
The study of places and the interactions between people and their environs is known as geography. Geographers study the surface of the Earth and the various human societies that live there. The ancient Greek scholar Eratosthenes is referred to be the "father of geography." He was the first to use the term "geography," and he also possessed a small-scale understanding of the planet, which enabled him to calculate the earth's diameter. Eratosthenes was a multi-talented individual. As the Greek philosopher and explorer Herodotus showed in the fifth century B.C, knowledge was amassed about such novel and exotic locales. That knowledge came to be known as geography, a term first used in the third century B.C. as the title of Eratosthenes of Cyrene's book Geographica.

A location, right above the actual centre of disturbance, from which an earthquake's shock waves appear to radiate. an activity's centre of attentions.e.g-Afganistan is earthquake epicenter of originate india country.



Another defination,The hypo-centre (or focus), the location in the crust where a seismic rupture starts, is the point on the earth's surface that is vertically above the epicentre.




What makes an earthquake an epicentre?

The tectonic plate border is where the earthquakes start. The epicentre is the location on the earth's surface immediately above the focus, which is also known as the hypocenter, the place inside the earth where the earthquake began is known as epicenter.




Importance of epicenter 

The hypocenter (focus) or Epicenter are both used to shown the where held the earthquake occurred.In depth held earthquake in hypocenter is true location while the epicenter are merely a point on earth surface.Seismographs are devices that are used to measure ground motion caused by earthquakes.




Epicenter overview

Epicenter is a global innovation community with locations in Stockholm, Oslo, Amsterdam, and Helsinki. Its goal is to bring together entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors to create a dynamic ecosystem for startups and established companies alike. Each location provides a unique environment that fosters collaboration and creativity, with state-of-the-art facilities and access to a network of like-minded professionals. Epicenter hosts events, workshops, and meets to facilitate knowledge-sharing and networking opportunities for its members. With a focus on technology, sustainability, and social impact, Epicenter is at the forefront of shaping the future of business. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to launch your next venture or an established company seeking new opportunities for growth, Epicenter has something for everyone.



An epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates. It is often the location where the most severe damage occurs during an earthquake, and is determined by analysing seismic waves. While earthquakes can occur anywhere in the world, there are certain areas that are more prone to seismic activity than others. These areas, known as fault zones, include places like California's San Andreas Fault and Japan's Pacific Ring of Fire. Understanding the epicenter of an earthquake is important for emergency responders and researchers who study seismic activity in order to better predict and prepare for future earthquakes.



An epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the location where an earthquake originates. This term is also used in reference to other types of natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions or explosions. Understanding the epicenter is crucial for assessing the impact of these events and responding to them effectively. Scientists use seismographs to detect earthquakes and determine their epicenter. They analyse the data collected from several seismographs to pinpoint the exact location of the event. Once the epicenter is identified, emergency responders can quickly assess the damage and provide aid to affected areas. By understanding the epicenter, we can better prepare for natural disasters and mitigate their effects on communities around the world.



The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the location where an earthquake starts. These epicenter points can occur anywhere on the planet, but they tend to concentrate in certain areas. The most active earthquake zones are located along the edges of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust. These areas include the Pacific Ring of Fire, which circles the Pacific Ocean, as well as the Alpide Belt, which stretches from Europe to Asia. Other earthquake-prone regions include the Mediterranean region, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean. However, earthquakes can occur anywhere, even in areas that are not typically associated with seismic activity.




EPICENTER VS HYPOCENTER 


The difference between epicenter and hypocenter is that the epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the location where an earthquake originates, while the hypocenter, also known as the focus, is the actual location where the earthquake begins below the Earth's surface. The epicenter is usually the point where the earthquake's effects are felt the most strongly, and is often used as a reference point to measure the distance from the earthquake. On the other hand, the hypocenter is the point where the energy is released and seismic waves spread out from that point. While the epicenter can be determined relatively easily using seismic waves, determining the exact location of the hypocenter can be more challenging and requires more advanced methods.

However, earthquakes can occur anywhere, even in areas that are not typically associated with seismic activity.



The location of an earthquake's epicenter can be determined by analyzing seismic waves recorded by seismographs around the world. By triangulating the arrival times of the waves, scientists can pinpoint the epicenter of the earthquake to a specific location on the Earth's surface. This information is crucial for emergency responders and disaster relief organization to quickly respond to affected areas. Additionally, the distribution of earthquake epicenters can provide insight into tectonic plate boundaries and help in the study of the Earth's dynamic geology.





EPICENTER MAIN STUDY MATTERS 

IN the time before just coming indication of earthquake on earth atmosphere Radon (RN) gases increase in very high volume.This indicate the earthquake occur during the period just before held of earthquake.










Three type of waves flows from focus to epicenter

P-wave is also known as primary wave.Its occur at time of earthquake very fast flow speed from focus point to epicenter point and reach to firstly in epicenter.The speed of velocity p wave reach to epicenter is 8km/sec.P wave travel both in solid and liquid form very easily inside the surface of earth.p waves run forward in push way motion.

S wave is also known as secondary wave.Its flow only in solid but not in liquid form of metal.s wave speed of velocity flow to reach epicenter is 4-6km/sec.s waves also run forward in push way motion.

L wave is also known as long period wave or surface wave.This wave is reach on epicenter at very late or last.L wave are very slow waves and its very destroy wave.L wave are go forward in zig zag motion.





Measurement earthquake Instrument

Intensity of earthquake measure by seismograph.

Intensity of wave measure in following way:

Richter scale

Rosi feral scale

EARTHQUAKE DEFINATION,CAUSES AND EFFECTS

Image
An  earthquake? Any sudden shaking of the ground brought on by seismic waves passing through the planet's rocks is referred to as an earthquake. When a kind of energy held inside the Earth's crust is abruptly released, typically when masses of rock rubbing up against one another unexpectedly crack and "slide," seismic waves are created. Geologic faults, which are confined areas where rock masses can move in relation to one another, are where earthquakes happen most frequently. The largest tectonic plates that make up the crust of the Earth are where the majority of  the world's major fault lines are found.

THE EARTH'S CRUST   The outermost solid cover or shell of the earth is well known as the earth's crust . The thickness of the crust is about 30km. It is the thicker in the region of the continents and thinner in the region of the ocean floors. The density of rocks in the earth's crust ranges from 2.7 to 3 g/c.c(grams per cubic centimeter). The upper part of the crust consists of silica and aluminium in greater proportions.That is reason,its called ' Sial '. Where as the lower part of the crust is called ' sima ' because the proportion of silica and magnesium is higher in this part Table of contents MANTLE CORE   ROCKS IGNEOUS ROCKS SEDIMENTARY ROCKS METAMORPHIC ROCKS MANTLE   This layer lies below the crust.
