Science 6 Q4 Changes in the Surface of the Earth

What is the point of origin of an earthquake below the surface of the earth?

• fault
• focus
• cracks
• epicenter

Answer explanation

Jupiter is a gas giant made primarily of hydrogen and helium. Unlike terrestrial planets that have solid surfaces, gas giants like Jupiter don't have a well-defined solid surface, allowing them to accumulate more mass in a gaseous form. This composition has allowed Jupiter to grow significantly larger than planets with solid surfaces.
