Epicenter
an earthquake
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
This is known as the epicentre.

the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
The point on Earth's surface directly above the Earth's focus is known as the "epicenter." It is the location where seismic waves first reach the surface during an earthquake, making it the area typically most affected by the quake. The epicenter is crucial for assessing damage and understanding the earthquake's impact on nearby communities.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
it is called the interior
