hypocenter
This term describes the precise three-dimensional point of origin for seismic activity. It is a technical term used primarily in geophysics and seismology to distinguish the internal source of an earthquake from the epicenter, which is the point on the surface directly above it.
Because it refers to a specific geographic coordinate in space, the word is used in a clinical, scientific manner. It carries a neutral connotation and is almost exclusively found in academic papers, geological reports, or news coverage of natural disasters.
