Final answer:
The hypocenter (focus) is where an earthquake starts underground, creating seismic waves that propagate outward. The epicenter is the surface point directly above the hypocenter that is often reported after an earthquake.
Explanation:
Hypocenter, also known as the focus of an earthquake, is the point beneath the Earth's surface where the initial rupture occurs, generating seismic waves. The displacement propagates outward from the hypocenter, causing ground shaking. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter and is typically reported in news after an earthquake.
