it is directly above the focus
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 focus of an earthquake is the exact point within the Earth's crust where the earthquake originates. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus. While the focus is located underground, the epicenter is on the surface.
the epicenter is the area directly over the focus which is jus a fancy name for where the earthquake actually happened the epicenter is on the surface of the earth, no matter how far the focus is down in the ground
Typically, at least three seismograph readings are needed in order to locate an earthquake's epicenter. By comparing the arrival times of the seismic waves at each station, seismologists can triangulate the precise location of the earthquake's epicenter.
The epicenter.
The epicenter of an earthquake is located in the state where the earthquake originates.
The epicenter is the surface located right above the focus, which is the center of an earthquake.
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.
False, the focus is located deep underground. The epicenter is at ground level
Located in the Atlantic Ocean.

The epicenter of the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake was located on the Cocos Plate subduction zone (18.35, -102.39).
The place on Earth's surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the surface located vertically above the earthquake's focus (or hypocenter), where the seismic waves originate.
The epicentre of the earthquake was 40 miles south of Tokyo.
The epicenter of an earthquake would be located at the point directly above the focus (hypocenter) on the Earth's surface. In the diagram, it would be at the top point where the circle meets the surface.
The epicenter of the earthquake was located near the city center.
