This is known as the focus or hypocentre of an earthquake.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
There are a number of features of an earthquake. The main features include vibration of the earth surface, possible destruction of buildings and property, movement of tectonics under the surface of the earth and so much more.
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
The point under the surface where earthquake waves are generated is called the focus or hypocenter. This is where the energy is released that generates seismic waves that then move outward in all directions through the Earth's crust.

The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
Earthquakes originate from the sudden release of energy stored in the Earth's crust due to the movement along geological faults. When accumulated stress at a fault line overcomes the strength of the rocks holding it together, it results in the release of seismic waves that propagate through the Earth, causing an earthquake.
Epicenter
The focus of an earthquake is the location within the lithosphere where seismic energy is released when slippage first occurs along a fault line. The epicenter is the location on Earth's surface directly above the focus.
