They result from a release of matter and particles

They're mainly associated with one type of fault

They result from a release of energy

When rock bends, it never returns to its original shape

When rock bends it is able to return to its original shape

A focus (or hypocenter) is the place on the surface above the epicenter, where faulting first occurs.

During an earthquake, waves move from far away towards the hypocenter/focus

An epicenter is located above the focus (hypocenter)

An earthquake's epicenter is unable to be determined exactly.
