It is called the epicenter which is the starting point.
The epicenter, a point on the earth's surface directly over the focus, is where the first motion of an earthquake will be felt.The first motion of an earthquake is created at the focus, the point deep underground where the first break in the fault line occurs.
Epicenter!!
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.

Aftershocks can occur hours or days after an earthquake.
An earthquake is a force craking in the air.
A tsunami is an ocean wave that is caused by an earthquake. It would occur after an earthquake.
The epicenter is the point where motion begins on a fault line in the event of an earthquake. This location is seen as the origin of the earthquake itself and can help determine how much damage has been done in different areas.
Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake can occur
