${\fcolorbox{red}{white}{Hypocenter}}$

The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins.

Answer 2

Answer:

Epicenter is the location directly above it on the earth's surface.

Explanation:

In most earthquakes, the epicenter is where the most damage occurs, although the length of the subsurface fault rupture can be rather extensive, and damage can be dispersed across the entire rupture zone on the surface.

The hypocenter is the point beneath the earth's surface where the earthquake begins, while the epicenter is the location directly above it on the earth's surface.
