It is a point directly above the focus and is situated on the surface of the earth.

It is known to be the center of the earthquake

It is the point below the surface of the earth where an earthquake originates.

Area around epicenter is the one that is hit the hardest by an earthquake and can be seen by the people.

In locating the origin of the earthquake, seismologists first locate the focus.

In terms of determining the cause of the earthquake, seismologists start first with the study of the focus.

By locating the epicenter of the earthquake, seismologists can determine the origin of the earthquake both above and below the crust.

Epicenters are located beneath the surface of the Earth, while the focus is on the crust.
