What is the point on the earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus?
epicenter
What is the focus and epicenter of an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
Where is the focus located?
the focus is located under the epicenter. It is the origin of the earthquake. The epicenter is right above the focus.
What is the difference between an earthquake's fucus and epicenter?
An earthquake's focus is the point within the earth where the earthquake starts. The epicenter is the point on earth directly above the focus.

How focus and epicenter related?
The focus and epicenter are both "earthquake points". The focus is the point of origin of an earthquake or underground nuclear explosion while the epicenter the very center or focal point.
Where is the focus located?
the focus is located under the epicenter. It is the origin of the earthquake. The epicenter is right above the focus.
Where is the earthquake's epicenter is located?
The epicenter is the surface located right above the focus, which is the center of an earthquake.
What is the difference between an earthquake's fucus and epicenter?
An earthquake's focus is the point within the earth where the earthquake starts. The epicenter is the point on earth directly above the focus.
If the focus and the epicenter of an earthquake were in the exact same spot where would that spot have to be?
that cant happen
How do you use triangulation to find an epicenter of an earthquake?
the find the epicenter the find the focus from the epicenter
Whats the difference between the epicenter of an earthquake and the focus of the earthquake?
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.
