The point on earths surface where an earthquake starts is called?
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.
What is the spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs?
The spot on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. It is usually the point on the Earth's surface closest to where the seismic waves originate deep within the Earth.
What is the point on the earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus?
epicenter
What damage is shown at epicentre?
Epicentre is point where earthquake shock first reaches on surface so damage shown at epicentre is great

What is above the orgin of an earthquake?
the epicentre
What is centre of a earthquake called?

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).
What is difference between the focus and the epicenter of an earthquake?
The difference between the epicentre and the focus of earthquakes is this:The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicentre is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.Hope this helped :)

How many epicentres can an earthquake have?

What damage is shown at the epicentre?
Epicentre is point where earthquake shock first reaches on surface so damage shown at epicentre is great
What is the point inside an earthquake where it begins?
