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.
