What is the difference between epicenter - earthquake?
An earthquake can reach several miles in distance, but the epicenter is the point of the strongest movement, usually the starting point from which it spreads. Also, the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The focus is the point where the actual earthquake occurred. Hope this helped:)
