the point of rupture which is known as the _______ can occur anywhere between the earth surface at a depth of 700 km​

Sagot :

Answer:

Earth Quake

Explanation:

Earthquakes occur in the crust or upper mantle, which ranges from the earth's surface to about 800 kilometers deep (about 500 miles).

The strength of shaking from an earthquake diminishes with increasing distance from the earthquake's source, so the strength of shaking at the surface from an earthquake that occurs at 500km deep is considerably less than if the same earthquake had occurred at 20 km depth.
