Directly below is the focus. The focus is the place where the earthquake originally starts. From there, shock waves move in all directions.
The focus (more correctly termed the hypocenter) of an earthquake is the point in the earth where the earthquake rupture or fault movement actually occurred. The point on the surface directly above the hypocenter is known as the epicenter.
epicenter
This is known as the earthquake's epicentre.
the focus is below the epicenter. the epicenter is where the focus is but on the surface. the focus is below the surface, it ranges in the depth. they show you the epicenter on the news, not the focus.
The epicenter is directly above the point where an earthquake originated. Shock waves are produced and propagate spherically along the epicenter.

Epicenter is used in the field of earth quakes. Epicenter means the spot where the earth quake occured or where the effects were felt the strongest
An earthquake's focus is the point within the earth where the earthquake starts. The epicenter is the point on earth directly above the focus.
