lakshikaarora11: The focus of an earthquake is the point where the rocks start to fracture. It is the origin of the earthquake
lakshikaarora11: works for you?
lakshikaarora11: Directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is the earthquake epicenter. Earthquake waves travel outward in all directions. Earthquake waves do not originate at the epicenter.
