WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EPICENTER AND HYPOCENTER OF AN EARTHQUAKE?
The hypocenter is the point inside the Earth where the rupture that generates an earthquake begins (latitude, longitude, depth). If this point is projected to the Earth’s surface, the epicenter is obtained, that is, the epicenter corresponds to the point on the Earth’s surface located directly above the focus or hypocenter.
