Epicenter
Primary and secondary waves.
probably the New Madrid, MO earthquake of December 1811.
For a earthquake to happen first the plate from the ground starts to move up and down.
The word epicenter is typically heard after an earthquake has occurred. This word refers to the area of first impact by the earthquake, and is used to tell how big the earthquake was.
the first recorded earthquake in sri-lanka was in April 14th 1615 but i dont no if it was the first one ever recorded in history. (hope that helped)
This is at the fault lines. This is were the most damage is going to occur during the earthquake.
The focus of an earthquake is the location within the lithosphere where seismic energy is released when slippage first occurs along a fault line. The epicenter is the location on Earth's surface directly above the focus.

the point inside the earth where the first movement of an earthquake occurs and energy is released is called the epicenter.

the first place where the movement first occurs in an earthquake is the focus.
the epicenter
epicentre
This is known as the earthquake's epicentre.
Focus
The point inside the earth where movement from inside an earthquake first occurs is known as the focus or hypocenter.
The earthquake's hypocenter, is where the crust's rupture begins.*The epicenter of a quake is the point, on Earth's surface, associated with this hypocenter, which can be many kilometers inside the crust.
