Earthquake Hypocenter - the point of the beginning of a fault.
Earthquake Epicenter - the projection of the hypocenter onto the Earth's surface
Earthquake Magnitude - the amount of energy released by an earthquake in the form of seismic waves.
Earthquake intensity - a measure of amount of the earth tremors at the territory, covered by the earthquake; depends on of the magnitude and depth of the hypocenter.
Different countries use different scales of earthquake intensity. In Europe, Russia and the United States a 12-point scale is used.
