How does dropping a rock into a still pond model the movement of an earthquake?
Dropping a rock into a still pond models the movement of an earthquake by showing where the earthquake rupture starts, and the epicenter, the point on the surface directly above the focus. It also gives a visual display of what an earthquake looks like. ChaCha!

About Earthquake
An Earthquake (also known as a quake or tremor) is a shift in the earth's crust that releases a substantial amount of energy. The size, type and frequency of an earthquake is measured by its seismic activity. The shifting of the surface during an earthquake can cause catastrophic damage to any nearby population. The magnitude of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. The Richter scale rates the size of the earthquake from 1 to 10+ with 10+ being the worst.
