Question #28Use the image to answer the question.

During a class activity, a teacher showed a diagram of an earthquake to her class. The diagram has twopoints, P and Q, marked as shown.

If a teacher added a fault line to the diagram, how can she do so accurately ?

A Draw a line that passes only through point Q because point Q represents the focus of theearthquake or where the energy of the earthquake terminates.

B Draw a line that passes only through point P because point P represents the focus of theearthquake or where the energy of the earthquake originates.

C Draw a line that passes through points P and Q because both points represent the focus ofthe earthquake or where the energy of the earthquake terminates.

D Draw a line that passes through points P and Q because both points represent the focus ofthe earthquake or where the energy of the earthquake originates.
