  • The epicenter, epicentre or epicentrum in seismology is the point on the Earth's surface directly above a hypocenter or focus, the point where an earthquake or an underground explosion originates.

  • The main importance in determining the epicentre is so that the fault that ruptured causing the earthquake can be identified. If the fault is a recognised fault, then the earthquake can be used to increase confidence in the hazard modelling for the area..

hope this answer helps you...
