What is the definition of an epicentre of an earthquake?

The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the earth's surface away from which the seismic waves produced by an earthquake radiate. This is similar to the way waves or ripples in a pond move outwards in concentric circles from the point where you throw a stone into the water. As such the epicentre is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's focus or hypocentre (the point within the earth where the fault rupture or movement actually occurs).


Where is the Epic Center located?

The epicenter is located on the earth's surface, right above the part beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates. The part of beneath the earth's surface is called the focus.
