No, the Earth's surface directly above the epicenter is called the "epicenter," while the "focus" (or hypocenter) is the actual point within the Earth where an earthquake originates. The epicenter is located directly above the focus on the surface. Therefore, they refer to different locations related to an earthquake's origin.
The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake, where the seismic waves are most strongly felt. The focus, or hypocenter, is the actual location underground where the earthquake originates.
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake begins is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the surface vertically above the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake, where the seismic waves originate. Seismologists use the epicenter to locate and map earthquake events.
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.

The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
The focus is the point in the earths crust where the earthquake originates and the epicentre is the point in the earths surface directly above the focus.
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. It is usually the point of greatest destruction.

No, the location on the Earth's surface directly above the epicenter of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. The focus is the actual point within the Earth where the earthquake originates, whereas the epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus.
