HYPOCENTER:

A hypocenter is the point of origin of an earthquake or a subsurface nuclear explosion. In seismology, it is a synonym of the focus. The term hypocenter is also used as a synonym for ground zero, the surface point directly beneath a nuclear airburst.

→→A hypocenter (or hypocentre) is the point of origin of an earthquake or a subsurface nuclear ... second, this seismic wave is what is measured at various surface points in order to geometrically determine an initial guess as to the hypocenter.

→→Epicenter is the location on the surface of the Earth directly above where the earthquake starts. Focus (aka Hypocenter) is the location in the Earth where the earthquake starts.

→→Magnitude is related to the amount of seismic energy released at the hypocenter of the earthquake. ... The magnitude of an earthquake is thus represented by a single, instrumentally determined value. Earthquakes are the result of forces deep within the Earth's interior that continuously affect the surface of the Earth.
