Answer:
focus
Step-by-step explanation:
Epicenter is the part of the earth's surface where the greatest intensity of an earthquake is recorded. It occurs above the focus (also called the hypocenter), the internal location of the earth where the earthquake occurs. It is often said that an earthquake occurred in a particular location, but this is not always true. It is common for people to have felt only the seismic waves that originate from the focus but can reach hundreds of kilometers away.
