I think the word you're looking for is epicenter. The uncertainty is because that's actually the surface location directly above the hypocenter or focus of an earthquake, which may not have been what you meant.

epicenter.
What is the origin of an earthquake under the surface called?
The epicenter.
The location on the surface of the earth immediately above the origin of a fault is called?
The block of rock below a fault is the "footwall" if you are referring to geology/earthquake terms.
What is the location called where muscle attaches attaches to the non moving bone?
origin
The location where the X Y and Z axes intersect is called the?
the origin
The point on the earths surface closest to the origin of an earthquake is called?
The Epicenter.
What is the point of origin of an earthquake?
The point of origin of an Earthquake within the earth is known as the hypocentre. It can also be called the focus.Directly above this on the surface is the earthquake's epicenter.
What is point of origin of an earthquake?
The point of origin of an earthquake is called the hypocentre or focus. The epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus.
What is the origin of an earthquake under the surface of earth called?
This is known as the focus or hypocentre of an earthquake.
What are the characteristics of a coordinate plane?
It is a plane surface with an origin and a pair of orthogonal axes. The location of any point in the plane is given by an ordered pair of coordinates: the abscissa (distance to the right of the origin) and the ordinate (distance in the vertical direction from the origin).
What is defined as a location?
A location is the position which is usually measure in terms of a fixed point of reference, which is called the origin. In n-dimensional space the location may be defined in terms of distances from origin along orthogonal axes (n axes), or in terms of distance and direction (one measure of distance and n-1 angles). Location on the surface of a sphere, for example the earth, can be defined by only two angles (the latitude and longitude) and no distance because the distance is implied (radius of the earth).
