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 point is the epicentre of the earthquake.

The focus of an earthquake is the place where an earthquake occurred along the fault underground, while the epicenter is the place directly above it where the seismic waves were felt.The focus is where an earthquake starts and the epicenter is where the earthquake hits the hardest.The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicenter is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicenter is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.
The term describing this point is "epicentre"
The strongest point of an earthquake is referred to as the earthquake's epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originates, known as the hypocenter. The magnitude of the earthquake is typically highest at the epicenter.
The point is the epicentre of the earthquake.
Its epicentre
The underground centre of an earthquake is the Hypocentre or focus.
asw2. The epicentre is the underground location of the earthquake, and the focus is the point on the surface directly above the epicentre.

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
