Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The point inside the earth where an earthquake arises is known as the earthquake's focus (or hypocenter). The vibration caused by the earthquake in the form of waves within or on the earth's surface is called seismic waves. The sudden movement of plates causes an earthquake. The point where the edges give way is called the focus. The point above the focus on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter. The instrument used to evaluate seismic waves is called a seismograph.
