Answer:

Difference between the focus and epicentre of an earthquake?

The point inside the crust where the pressure is released is called the focus . The point on the Earth's surface above the focus is called the epicentre .

earthquakes and aftershocks?​

Aftershocks are earthquakes that follow the largest shock of an earthquake sequence. They are smaller than the mainshock and within 1-2 rupture lengths distance from the mainshock. In general, the larger the mainshock, the larger and more numerous the aftershocks, and the longer they will continue.

The focus is the point within the earth where seismic waves originate; it is centered on the part of the fault that has the greatest movement. The epicenter is on the earth's surface directly above the focus.
