The effects of the 2010 Illinois earthquake were felt up to 300 miles away from the epicenter. This earthquake had a magnitude of 3.8 and was centered near Elgin, Illinois. People in several states reported feeling the shaking.
Epicenter is used in the field of earth quakes. Epicenter means the spot where the earth quake occured or where the effects were felt the strongest
The epicenter of the earthquake in Los Angeles was near the city of Ridgecrest, which is located in Kern County, California. The earthquake, which occurred on July 4, 2019, had a magnitude of 6.4.
The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake, where the seismic waves are most strongly felt. The focus, or hypocenter, is the actual location underground where the earthquake originates.
An earthquake is the shaking of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere, whereas the epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake's point of origin, or hypocenter. In other words, the epicenter is the location on the Earth's surface where the earthquake's seismic waves are most strongly felt.
A distance of some 21 miles [13 kilometers] separates where the earthquake of December 27, 1989 was felt in Newcastle to its suburb of Boolaroo, below which was the earthquake's epicenter.
All other factors being equal, the seismic waves will be felt most strongly at or near to the epicentre of the earthquake.
The effects of the 2010 Illinois earthquake were felt up to 300 miles away from the epicenter. This earthquake had a magnitude of 3.8 and was centered near Elgin, Illinois. People in several states reported feeling the shaking.
The origin of an earthquake underground is the focus, which is right under the epicenter which is the place above ground where an earthquake is felt.
No the New Madrid Earthquake just rang the liberty bell. The earthquake's epicenter was in the boot heel of Missouri, but the earthquake was so strong that it was felt as far away as New York, Canada, and Washington D.C.

Newcastle was the city affected by an earthquake in 1989. The epicentre for the earthquake, which killed 13 people, was at Boolaroo, a Newcastle suburb 19 kilometres west of the CBD.Effects of the Newcastle earthquake were felt throughout central-eastern New South Wales. There were reports of damage to buildings in Scone, Gladstone and Sydney, the latter some 800km away.
its where it started from so there is going to be more pressure there
The focus of an earthquake, also known as the hypocenter, is the point within the Earth where the earthquake originates. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus. The epicenter is where the earthquake's effects, such as shaking and damage, are most strongly felt.
Earthquake intensity varies. Some are so minor that they can only be felt at the epicenter. Earthquake shock waves radiate etc
