โ 12y agoThe location underground where an earthquake starts is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the point within the Earth where the fault rupture begins and energy is released, generating seismic waves that propagate to the surface, causing an earthquake.
The spot directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the underground location where the earthquake starts, known as the focus or hypocenter.
This is known as the focus or hypocentre of an earthquake.
The point underground where an earthquake's movement first takes place is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the initial location where the seismic waves originate and spread outwards through the Earth.
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is known as the epicenter. It is the location on the Earth's surface vertically above where the earthquake originated underground.
The location on Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake starts is known as the epicenter. This point is usually where the seismic waves are first detected and is typically used to determine the location of the earthquake.
Because a earthquake isn't a mountain.. A earthquake starts to happen underground then is on top.
Epicenter!!

asw2. The epicentre is the underground location of the earthquake, and the focus is the point on the surface directly above the epicentre.
The place where an earthquake starts is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the underground point where the seismic energy is released and the earthquake initiates.
The point underground where an earthquake originates is known as the hypocenter or the focus. This is the specific location within the Earth's crust where the seismic energy is released, leading to the generation of seismic waves that cause the earthquake.
This is known as the focus or hypocentre of an earthquake.

An earthquake's epicentre is on the Earth's surface, directly above the underground hypocentre or focus.
The term for the point within the Earth where an earthquake rupture starts is the "focus" or "hypocenter." It is the initial point of energy release underground that generates seismic waves.
