The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the earth's surface away from which the seismic waves produced by an earthquake radiate. This is similar to the way waves or ripples in a pond move outwards in concentric circles from the point where you throw a stone into the water. As such the epicentre is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's focus or hypocentre (the point within the earth where the fault rupture or movement actually occurs).
