The focus
The classification scale used to describe the depth of origin of earthquakes is based on three categories: shallow (0-70 km), intermediate (70-300 km), and deep (>300 km) earthquakes. The depth of an earthquake's origin can help determine its potential impact and the type of seismic waves produced.
The point of origin of an Earthquake within the earth is known as the hypocentre. It can also be called the focus.Directly above this on the surface is the earthquake's epicenter.
Point source pollution is the type of pollution that can be traced to a specific point of origin, such as a pipe discharging pollutants into a river or a factory releasing contaminants into the air.

The origin of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the point underground where the earthquake rupture begins.
The epicenter.

The epicenter i think
Seismic Waves
The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin.
new English=earth-quackold English =earth-quakePlate Tectonics cause (are the origin of) earthquakes. The point at which an earthquake occurs (the origin within the Earth) is the focus or hypocentre. The point on the Earth's surface directly above this is the epicentre.
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
Epicentre
its the point of origin
If you want to know what the name is, it is called the epicenter. If you want to know a location where all earthquakes originate, there isn't one. Earthquakes can occur along faultlines, or in the middle of a continent.
Origin? As in point of origin vs point of destiantion?
