A short lecture activity sequence designed to engage students in learning about EQ epicenter location . Earthquake Risk. Earthquakes are likely wherever plate movement stores energy in the rock along faults.. Geologists can determine earthquake risk by locating where faults are active and where past earthquakes have occurred.. Amount and duration are related to the amount of energy released. Which hazards do you know?. Earthquake Hazards. Tsunami: displacement of a large volume of water. Shallow hypocenter, large volume of displaced crust, large earthquake.
