The epicenter.
The center of an earthquake is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the point within the Earth's crust where the earthquake originates. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter.
seismic waves
The point on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin is called the "epicenter." It is the location where seismic waves radiate outwards from the earthquake's focus (or hypocenter) beneath the surface.
The location on the surface directly above the earthquake focus is called the epicenter.
Epicenter
The center of an earthquake is the epicenter.
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
The center of an earthquake is known as its epicenter.
The point underground where an earthquake originates is known as the hypocenter or the focus. This is the specific location within the Earth's crust where the seismic energy is released, leading to the generation of seismic waves that cause the earthquake.
