Why Do Earthquakesfelt In Other Place From Its Epicenter

Why do earthquakesfelt in other place from its epicenter

Good Day

Earthquake releases seismic wave which carries energy in it which travels in all direction away from the focus.

There are two types of seismic wave, namely the: Surface wave and body wave. Body wave can travel the interior of the earth while surface wave can only travel on the surface layer of the earth.

Other places can feel the vibration or shaking of the ground even if they are far away from the epicenter since  surface wave carries energy in it as it travels away from the focus or epicenter.

Hope it helps....=)
