the epicentre
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake. It is as close to the point of origin of the quake as you can get on the surface. The earthquake is strongest at that point.
No, the Haiti earthquake in 2010 was not the strongest earthquake ever recorded. The strongest earthquake ever recorded was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale.
The point on the ground surface directly above where an earthquake occurs is called the "epicenter." It is the location that typically experiences the strongest shaking during the earthquake. The actual location where the earthquake originates underground is known as the "focus" or "hypocenter."
An earthquake is the shaking of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, while the epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originated. The strength of an earthquake is measured by its magnitude, which is not related to the location of the epicenter.
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
The strongest point in an earthquake is the epicenter.

Near plate boundaries.
You do not want to be near the epicenter of an earthquake!Since the epicenter is the point on the earth's surface that is directly above the focus, or starting point, of the earthquake, it usually suffers the strongest shaking and the most severe damage.
Another name for the focus of an earthquake is the hypocenter of an earthquake. This is the strongest point in the earthquake, like the eye of the storm.

Chili earthquake 9.5
An earthquake can reach several miles in distance, but the epicenter is the point of the strongest movement, usually the starting point from which it spreads. Also, the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The focus is the point where the actual earthquake occurred. Hope this helped:)
