The point at which an earthquake begins is called the focus or hypocenter.
it starts in the focus
epicentre
The origin of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the point underground where the earthquake rupture begins.
The origin of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the point within the Earth where the earthquake begins and energy is released.
Within the Earth, the focal point of the energy released in an earthquake is called the hypocentre or focus. This is where an earthquake actually begins. The place on the Earth's surface directly above this point is known as the epicentre.

The name given to the point where an earthquake begins is the "focus" or "hypocenter." This is the location within the Earth where the seismic energy is first released, leading to the generation of seismic waves that cause shaking felt at the surface.
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake begins is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the surface vertically above the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake, where the seismic waves originate. Seismologists use the epicenter to locate and map earthquake events.
The place along a fault where the slipping that causes an earthquake begins is called the "focus" or "hypocenter." This is the point within the Earth where the energy is released, initiating the seismic activity that generates an earthquake.
