Want this question answered?
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
An epicenter means the point on the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake so...it probably means where the spot on the earth's surface where the earthquake is really strong. To find a specific example, I suggest you search earthquakes.
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
epicenter is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquakes starting point,or focus focus is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin.
The point on the Earth's surface directly above an earthquakes focus or hypocentre is the epicentre.

It is the epicentre of the earthquake on the earth's surface.
It is the epicentre of the earthquake on the earth's surface.
Focus
The epicentre of an earthquake is the central point on the Earth's surface directly above the point within the Earth where the earthquake actually occurred (known as the focus or hypocentre). From this point on the surface the waves of the earthquake propagate outward like the ripples on a pond when a stone is thrown in.
No. Jupiter does not have a solid surface, Therefore it cannot have earthquakes.
An earthquakes epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus
on the surface, directly above the focus
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
