What are examples of epicenter?

Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What does major earthquake mean?
It means that the earthquake is large and powerful.
What does seismic wave mean?
