The location on the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake​ is known as Epicenter

  • The hypocenter is the place under the earth's surface where the earthquake begins, while the epicenter is the position directly above it on the earth's surface.
  • Epicenter: The location on the Earth's surface that is directly above the subterranean point (known as the focus) where fault rupture begins, causing an earthquake.
  • The epicenter is the place where the arcs connect.
  • The earthquake's impacts may not be the most severe in the immediate region of the epicenter. Computing arcs can be used to locate the epicenter at least three seismic observatories having arc radii that are proportional to the passage of time it takes seismic waves to travel from the focus to each station.
