The central point of the surface of the Earth is the geographic midpoint, also known as the Earth's center of gravity. This point is located at a slightly different position due to variations in the Earth's surface, but is generally close to the center of the Earth.
True north runs from any point on the Earth's surface to the North Pole.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
Those coordinates describe a single point on the Earth's surface, not a whole country. That point is located in central Ethiopia, about 112 miles northeast of the center of Addis Ababa.
The point furthest north on the earth's surface is the point at 90 degrees north latitude, popularly referred to as the "north pole". The point furthest south on the earth's surface is the point at 90 degrees south latitude, popularly referred to as the "south pole".
A point on the Earth's surface is a specific location defined by its latitude and longitude coordinates. It represents a single, precise spot on the planet's outermost layer where the Earth's curvature is most apparent.
The epicentre of an earthquake is the central point on the Earth's surface directly above the point within the Earth where the earthquake actually occurred (known as the focus or hypocentre). From this point on the surface the waves of the earthquake propagate outward like the ripples on a pond when a stone is thrown in.
True north runs from any point on the Earth's surface to the North Pole.
The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin.
A subsatellite point is the point on the Earth's surface directly below a satellite in orbit. This point moves as the satellite orbits the Earth. The subsatellite point is also called the nadir point.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
The point on Earth's surface directly above the place where an earthquake originates is known as an epicenter.
The epicenter
The term that describes the point on the Earth's surface above the area where an earthquake originates is it's epicenter.
The South Pole is the southernmost point on the Earth's surface. It is located at a latitude of 90 degrees south.
This is known as the epicentre.
The epicenter of an earthquake is the central point on the Earth's surface directly above the point within the Earth where the earthquake actually occurred (known as the focus or hypocenter). From this point on the surface the waves of the earthquake propagate outward like the ripples on a pond when a stone is thrown in.
The hypocentre is the point inside the Earth where an earthquake starts. The point on the Earth's surface directly above this is the epicentre.
