| A _______ is a break in Earth's lithosphere Where one block moves toward, away from, or past another. | Fault |
| They release energy that travels as vibrations on and in Earth called __________. | Seismic Wave |
| These waves originate where rocks first move along the fault, at a location inside Earth called ___________. | Focus |
| The __________ is the location on Earth's surface directly above the earthquake's focus. | Epicenter |
