Seismographs placed around the planet detect the vibrations and calculate the epicenter using triangulation.
The underground centre of an earthquake is the Hypocentre or focus.

The focus is the point in the earths crust where the earthquake originates and the epicentre is the point in the earths surface directly above the focus.
The point is the epicentre of the earthquake.

asw2. The epicentre is the underground location of the earthquake, and the focus is the point on the surface directly above the epicentre.

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).
The difference between the epicentre and the focus of earthquakes is this:The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicentre is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.Hope this helped :)

Each earthquake has just one epicentre.
Epicentre is point where earthquake shock first reaches on surface so damage shown at epicentre is great
