Reading: Seismic Waves

The point on a fault within earth's crust where the fracturing begins and most slippage occurs is called the focus of the earthquake. Another name for it is the hypocenter. The point on the earth's surface directly above the focus is the epicenter.

The poet from where the shock-waves of earthquake originate due to sudden movement/slip of rocks is termed seismic focus.

The seismic focus lies within the crust of the earth at a deep of about 60 km.
