    An earthquake is caused by the rapid release of energy from the focus, which is the place where a fault begins to slip underground. The fault plane is the flat surface between two pieces of Earth that slip past each other, causing vibrations. The epicenter is located directly above the focus and marks the spot on the surface, while the fault line traces the fault reaching the surface of the Earth. The US government agency that assigns the earthquake intensity scale.
