Focus
underground it is called the focus and directly above it on ground it is the epicenter.
The point inside the Earth where the first movement of an earthquake occurs and energy is released is known as the focus or hypocenter. This is the location where the seismic waves originate and spread outwards, causing the shaking and vibrations associated with an earthquake.
An earthquake's point of origin is called the hypocenter or focus. It is the location within the Earth where the seismic energy is released, generating the earthquake waves that propagate to the surface. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter.
Hypocenter or focus. The Epicenter is the spot on the surface directly above it.
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.

Focus or Hypocenter
The origin of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the point within the Earth where the earthquake begins and energy is released.
The point in Earth's interior where the energy of an earthquake is released is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the location within the Earth where seismic waves originate, typically located along a fault line. The energy released at this point travels outward, causing the shaking felt during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is known as the epicenter.
Within the Earth, the focal point of the energy released in an earthquake is called the hypocentre or focus. This is where an earthquake actually begins. The place on the Earth's surface directly above this point is known as the epicentre.
The Tectonic Plates.
The point inside the Earth where energy is released causing an earthquake is called the focus or hypocenter. This is where the seismic waves originate and spread outwards, causing the ground to shake.
The point where an earthquake originates is called the "focus" or "hypocenter." This is the exact location within the Earth where the seismic energy is released during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is known as the "epicenter."
The point underground where the energy of an earthquake is released is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the location where seismic waves originate, resulting from the sudden movement of rocks along a fault line. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is known as the epicenter. Together, these points help in understanding the earthquake's origin and its impact on the surface.
