An epicentre ( epicenter) is the point of the earths surface above the hypocentre (hypocenter) or focus of an earthquake
epicentre
as
its called a"global fault"
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
Within the Earth, the focal point of the energy released in an earthquake is called the hypocentre or focus. This is where an earthquake actually begins. The place on the Earth's surface directly above this point is known as the epicentre.
