The focus of an earthquake is the place where an earthquake occurred along the fault underground, while the epicenter is the place directly above it where the seismic waves were felt.The focus is where an earthquake starts and the epicenter is where the earthquake hits the hardest.The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicenter is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicenter is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.
No, directly above the focus of an earthquake is the epicenter.
The focus is below ground that is where the earth quake happens. The epicenter is above because that is where it is located
Well, the origin of the earthquake is called the focus, and the point on the ground directly above the focus is called the epicenter. In CA, earthquakes generally originate from the San Andreas Fault.
epicentre :)

underground it is called the focus and directly above it on ground it is the epicenter.
epicenter
The difference between the epicentre and the focus of earthquakes is this:The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicentre is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.Hope this helped :)

The Epicenter
it is directly above the focus
on the surface, directly above the focus
it is directly above the focus
The point on the Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter
