4. This is the place inside the Earth where the

Earthquake actually occurs.

5. This is the place on the surface of the Earthdirectly above the Earthquake location.

6. These are surface waves & are very slow.

7. These are only half as fast as primary waves.8. Where do the deepest Earthquakes occur?

Southwest Virginia have be able to

determine vital information about sub-

surface(several thousand feet). They are

interested in where one would find coalseams to mine. Their information comes
