• strong earthquakes

Why can an earthquake be stronger somewhere other than its epicenter?

• If the material in the ground is are softer, the earthquake will be less dangerous.

• If the materials in the ground are softer, the earthquake will be more dangerous.

• If the epicenter is far away from the focus.
