Explanation:

The ‘epicenter’ is the point on the ‘Earth's surface’ directly above an earthquake's hypocenter.  

The ‘hypocenter’ is the first location where the ‘plate boundary’ rupture that led to the ‘earthquake’ occurred. The ‘epicenter’ can be pinpointed with three stations and three distances.

In fact, the epicenter of a hypothetical earthquake is located at the point where the earthquake begins to break. The epicenter is just above the surface of ‘our planet’. The epicenter is what we call immediately above the ‘hypocenter’ of the earthquake on the stage that said surface.
