Answer:

Epicenter - the point on the earth’s surface where the effects of a sudden movement (earthquake) are felt most strongly

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.
