Solid rock that is exposed or underlies softer rock, sediments, or soil.
Industry:Natural environment
Earthquakes in regions of moderate to high seismicity that cannot be correlated with known geologic structures and thus are assumed to be likely to occur at any location in the region.
Industry:Natural environment
Seismic vibration from an earthquake propagated deep underground.
Industry:Natural environment
The depth below the surface of the hypocenter or focus of an earthquake.
Industry:Natural environment
