AI overview

A hypocenter is the point where an explosion originates—either on the ground surface (for nuclear or meteor explosions) or below ground (for earthquakes). Understanding the hypocenter matters because it helps scientists and emergency responders locate where an event started and assess its characteristics and potential impact.
