Point A, where slip initiated during the earthquake, is called the Hypocenter.
- It is a point inside the Earth, where the seismic waves begin. It is also called Focus.
- The point at which these waves first strike the Earth's crust is called the Epicenter.
- These slips occur due to the movement and striking of the tectonic plates.
- The strain when released at this point creates fault and leads to an Earthquake.
