The Epicenter.
The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
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 layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. It contains most of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather events occur.
yes
Height above earths surface is called elevation
it is called the interior
Epicenter
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.

an earthquake
The crust
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
Focus
The atmospheric layer closest to the Earth's surface is called the troposphere. It extends up to around 10 kilometers above the Earth's surface and contains the majority of the Earth's weather phenomena.
This is known as the epicentre.
