About this illustration
A flat illustration diagram depicts a cross-section of Earth's crust, revealing layers of rock and a fault line. The surface features a small town with houses, trees, a river, and hills. The diagram clearly labels and defines the 'EPICENTRE' (the point on the surface above the focus), the 'FAULT' (a fracture in the Earth's crust), the 'FOCUS' (the underground point where the earthquake starts), and 'SEISMIC WAVES' (vibrations traveling from the focus). This visual resource is ideal for teaching students about the anatomy and mechanics of earthquakes, suitable for classroom slides or educational worksheets.
