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
at the epicenter
We typically use the word "epicenter" when discussing earthquakes, so the lat/long of the epicenter would depend on the earthquake under discussion. You can see each of the recent earthquakes on the US Geological Survey's web page at the link below.
The word you are looking for is epicenter, not epicurean. The epicenter is not the actual center because that is somewhere underground, but it is the closest place on the surface, to the actual earthquake underground. Epicurean means highly luxurious, and has nothing to do with earthquakes which are never luxurious.
Yes, earthquakes typically cause more severe damage near the epicenter because the energy released decreases as you move away from the epicenter. The intensity of shaking and resulting damage decreases with distance from the source.
Yes, people in the countryside in Japan can feel earthquakes, especially if the earthquake is of significant magnitude. However, the intensity of the shaking may be less compared to urban areas closer to the epicenter.
The epicenter.
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Geologists use circles to find the epicenter of an earthquake.
Epicenter
An earthquakes epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus
It is the Epicenter
at the epicenter
it is a target for earthquakes because it is on a fault line and the epicenter is right above that

I got it from my science book its geologist use seismic waves to locate the earthquakes epicenter (that's what the circle center is epicenter)
