This is known as the focus or hypocentre of an earthquake.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
There are a number of features of an earthquake. The main features include vibration of the earth surface, possible destruction of buildings and property, movement of tectonics under the surface of the earth and so much more.
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
Yes, it is quite common for earthquakes to occur under the sea. But they can also occur under the land. Any location on the Earth's surface (or close to the Earth's surface, to be more accurate) can have an earthquake, although of course, some locations are more prone to earthquakes than others.

Epicenter
The focus of an earthquake is the location within the lithosphere where seismic energy is released when slippage first occurs along a fault line. The epicenter is the location on Earth's surface directly above the focus.
