Question

which phrase describes a feature of an earthquakes epicenter? starting point of an earthquake place around the center of an earthquake region directly above the focus point about 100 kilometers deep in the lithosphere

Explanation:

The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus (the starting - point of the earthquake within the Earth). The starting - point of an earthquake is the focus, not the epicenter. The epicenter is not a place around the center of an earthquake in a general sense, and it is on the surface, not 100 kilometers deep in the lithosphere.

Answer:

region directly above the focus
