text: The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.
text: To understand directivity, picture the earthquake as a series of small earthquakes, moving outward from the epicenter (the epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface above the initial rupture.)
text: 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.
text: The main features include the focus, the location within the Earth where the earthquake rupture starts, and the epicenter, the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus.
text: The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the surface of the Earth directly above the point in the crust where a seismic rupture occurs.
text: 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.
text: In most earthquakes, the epicenter is the point where the greatest damage takes place, but the length of the subsurface fault rupture may indeed be a long one, and damage can be spread on the surface across the entire rupture zone.
text: The epicenter is the point on the surface of the Earth that is directly above the focus (or hypocenter) of an earthquake.
