The correct answer is - Focus.

Focus of the earthquake, also referred to as hypocenter, is the location/point where the earthquake starts. It is usually few kilometres below the surface. At this spot the ground raptures after which seismic waves start radiating outward in all directions. The focus is located below the epicenter, or rather the epicenter is above it because the location of the epicenter is determined by the location of the focus, so the epicenter represents the closest point on the surface of the Earth from where the focus is.

Which type of reef forms very closel to the shoreline of a volcanic island
ra1l [238]
They are called fringing reefs. They grow directly from shore and form borders along the shoreline. When a fringing reef continues to grow upward from a volcanic island that has sunk entirely below the sea level, an atoll is formed. Atolls are usually circular or oval in shape, with an open lagoon in the center. The fringing reef is the most common type of coral reef. They however tend to be very sensitive to human induced pollution in the water and are easily destroyed by such.
