What is Magnetic 

200

The point below the surface where the rock breaks and energy is released. (This is where the earthquake occurred.)  

What is focus 

200

How do you go from a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock.

Melting a metamorphic rock into magma then letting it solidify into an igneous. 

200
