The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. The hypocenter and origin time are determined by arrival times, incidence direction (backazimuth) and/or horizontal velocity of seismic phases radiated by the first break of the earthquake rupture. This is true when using any P or S phases since their propagation velocity is always larger than the rupture velocity.
