Epicenter
The point inside the earth where movement from inside an earthquake first occurs is known as the focus or hypocenter.
The focus of an earthquake is the point in the earth's interior where energy is release.
The point underground where the energy is released (causing the earthquake) is the focus point. This area is the actual origin of the earthquake. It should not be confused with the epicenter, which is the point above ground where the earthquake originates.
